Boy is both a heartbreaking and hilarious coming-of-age story about a dreamer called Boy (James Rolleston) who lives in rural New Zealand in 1984 and whose idol, besides Michael Jackson, is his long-absent father, who finally shows up in Boy’s life and turns out to be a bit of a disappointment, really. Rather than the close relative of MJ’s with rad moonwalking abilities Boy had hoped for, Alamein is in fact just returning from a seven-year stint in jail for robbery and is not even a deep sea diver or a war hero. But what follows is a beautifully told story of father-son bonding, of growing up, and of learning to get by with the hand you’ve been dealt.
