Movie Boy is a genuine pleasure, and an impressive debut from a very young director. A movie that is about the love of movies - lead Frank Pollack is possibly the world's most serious and passionate thirteen-year-old cinephile - the film explores what it means to really LOVE movies, especially when you're young. With a witty script, smooth pacing, and impressive portrayals by very young actors, Movie Boy is a coming-of-age picture that actually works. And Lefkovitz steers the film with a surprisingly steady hand. The result: a coming-of-age film about love, the movies, and growing up that actually speaks effectively to all three. A great choice for cinephiles and others.
