The Good Boy

Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough excel in Jan Komasa’s gripping and twisted thriller, where breaking the rules results in severe consequences.

19-year-old Tommy lives an unruly life of criminality until he is kidnapped by a stranger. He soon finds himself trapped in a dysfunctional family dynamic, where he is forced to change his behaviour to become a ‘good boy’.

Naqqash Khalid’s (In Camera) unsettling screenplay intentionally clouds characters’ motives, accentuating the unbearable suspense as events unfold. Screened at the BFI London Film Festival 2025.
