DESCRIPTION

 "A film of tense encounters, violent reactions and powerful performances, this is the type of gritty filmmaking long associated with British cinema."

"Opening with on-screen text informing us this is a film ‘based on a true story' , before quickly immersing its audience in the urgency of the situation, there’s no denying this is a film grounded in reality and looking to make an impact.

Driven-on by another outstanding appearance by one of the UK’s most under-appreciated performers, Eddie Marsan, Man and Boy is a taut drama, cleverly edited to leave you always eager to discover the next twist in its tale.

A story where no-one is innocent, it makes for uncomfortable and uncompromising viewing and however hard it is to watch…it feels just as difficult to forget!

The winner of Best Narrative Short award at the Tribeca Film Festival, where the jury commended Man and Boy for its “marriage of brilliant acting, superb technical prowess and provocative subject matter”, this is a film that has never felt more relevant and a warning of what can happen when society tries to play judge, jury and executioner."
