    Don't watch unless you consider yourself Low Brow

    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

    No. Just NO.

    I had high hopes for the movie but I was sadly disappointed. I thought it was terrible. It was difficult to follow the story, if the scenes were current or flashbacks, questionable acting on the part of several actors including Jenner. It's just not a good film. Period.

    Not a masterpiece, but horribly realistic

    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.

    Timeline of story doesnt help, just makes a bad acting movie worse.

    The timeline just jumps all over the place with no clue if its past or present. With the bad acting it is also annoying. The kid gets beat by his friend but all his fights are with everyone else, He unstable, has no guts and makes bad decisions, I guess that makes a character if the timeline was stable at least.

    I mean, yeah I liked it

    I actually enjoyed the film, a lot of sex and romance that doesn't really hold with the total message of the movie and the girlfriend that the main character has doesn't really help with that (but my personal preference with movies is that it doesn't have too many romantic scenes so this is just coming from me) I really liked it but there was a lot of jumping and flashbacks which kind of reminded me of "we need to talk about Kevin" but the difference is that this movie and that movie is that this movie doesn't give me a headache. In MY opinion there was some pretty good acting in the movie and the movie tries it's best to be cinema graphic in some moments but it comes off as kind of unnatural but not a bad movie at all.
