‘Superbly creepy’ Stephen Graham thriller so tense fans forced to pause part way
Jan Komasa’s psychological thriller The Good Boy, starring Liverpool-born Stephen Graham as a menacing family patriarch, is now streaming on Prime Video after a limited cinema release. The film follows a violent 19-year-old abducted and held captive by a family attempting to reform him through psychological manipulation. Critics have praised its bleak, unsettling and darkly comic tone, giving it an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score, while viewers describe it as compelling but so intense that some had to pause during key scenes.
