Poster Boy

About This Movie

Poster Boy is a gritty exploration of identity and conflict. The film's atmosphere is tense, filled with the palpable weight of the protagonist's trauma. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sit with the complexities of each character's motivations. The performances are raw and unrefined, adding to the film's authenticity. What makes it distinctive is how it delves into the intersection of personal struggle and larger societal issues. The practical effects, especially during the gun training scenes, feel grounded, almost documentary-like. The dynamics between the rival activists reveal much about the exploitation within social movements. It’s a thoughtful piece that challenges the viewer to consider the price of visibility and the impact of manipulation in activism.
