Boy A

Director: John Crowley

Feel

Him: The ending was devastatingly beautiful and sad when Peter Mullen’s character’s neglected son reveals Jack’s identity and his new world collapses when the past catches up with him. Beyond flashbacks of childhood trauma. Everyone deserves a second chance, with that opportunity he and his work mate saved a little girl from a car accident. She thought he was an angel. Perhaps he was. His suicide notes as voice mail were heatbreaking in their simplicity and candour. More than seeing his girlfriend’s gestalt. There was a feeling of inevitability to him standing over the railing of the Brighton pier. Could there have been another ending?
