Billy Boy

Zero stars. Pretentious,butt hurt,idiots trying playing real life. Skip this turd for sure or check it out for yourself and then complain about your wasted time.

This movie is so bad forced me to write a review i'm not going to add spoilers as its not even worth leaking any out .The movie to me has a basketball dairy,kids,Bomb the system kind of vibe to it .All those movies were way better than this film ,this has a film student quality to it which is to say it doesn't have any quality at all.For such wooden predictable cliche writing the actors seem to over act .This is a film for pretentious tool bag hipsters/unwiped artsy fartsy asses as well as navel gazers .Very predictable story you know how its going to end even before the end .Not worth seeing at all then to top it off you have the explicit sex scene thrown in out of no where which just as out of place as the actors.Any time i see some graphic sex in a movie its a huge red flag that the movie is horrible and the sex is thrown into shock and get people talking about about a film that should of never seen the light of day what the girl from super girl was thinking by being in this is beyond me .Imdb really needs to install a negative rating system because giving this a 1 in the positive is too much i would rate this a - Negative 5 if i could .Nothing to see here folks unless you like seeing nude melissa bolona at the expense of being bored to tears by this mental masturbation fodder don't bother

I had been very interested in this film since it's announcement on Kickstart. A huge fan of Ms. Benoist, I wanted to see her in a story out of her normal realm of features. I wasn't dissapointed. This film is gritty and I found it easy to connect with the characters and their situations both good and bad. The ending was done quite well and unlike most Indie's doesn't leave you guessing as to the cause and effect of the character's actions.I found myself hoping for Billy to climb out of the situation(s) he found himself in. I watched it in a theater and later shared with friends from home. One film I will long remember. Good Job!!!!!

Billy Boy is not an easy movie to watch and is certainly not going to appeal to everyone. This is not a Hollywood film , Hollywood would have turned this into some fake story about a bad boy with a heart of gold who gets the girl in the end. Horribly realistic, this is a movie with gritty and raw performances, especially from the talented lead who also wrote the film, but everyone is excellent in their role. The locations are perfect, the characters true to life. I don't love the use of playing the film backwards in some scenes, and the film does rely on the use now of telling the story out of order, but in this case it works. I have seen this movie a few times and will never understand it's poor rating and reviews. It really is a little gem if you like your stories personal and ugly. I think it's the sheer ugliness of the characters , story and ending that are turning viewers off, but it's a great film.

I don't recommend this film. It really gets lost in all the crazy camera stunts. Actors were generally good, but a waste of Melissa Benoist's talent. I now understand why she made it as these were people from her prior series Glee. She needs to find better films. She's very good actress, she is very talented. Enjoy Supergirl instead.
