What would you do with a wayward teenager? Abduct them and imprison them in your home to teach them how to be good? That’s road-safety-campaigner Chris’s (Stephen Graham) solution in The Good Boy.
Obnoxious hooligan Tommy is chained up in the basement of a Yorkshire family home with Chris and his near-spectre wife (Andrea Riseborough) and their repressed 10-year-old son (Kit Rakusen). Chris wants 19-year-old Tommy off the streets and off TikTok.
With the debate on social media and its effect on young people currently raging, The Good Boy offers up a dark reflection of society, helped by amazing performances and a strange tale stuffed with urban chills and blurred morality.
Out at Cineworld from 20th March, but if you want to find out what the attendees of the latest Secret Screening thought of The Good Boy, read their verdicts of the dark, twisted black comedy thriller below. It's a provocative film and it made a great choice for Cineworld’s latest Secret Screening.
So did The Good Boy deliver what was promised in the trailer? Joseph thinks so…
Wow, what a film. Brilliantly acted, loved Stephen Graham's portayel of Christopher in particular. A healthy balance of twistedness, comedy, and heartfelt moments. And it all played out in a way I didn't expect from the trailers, which I loved. #SecretScreening pic.twitter.com/coEPM68TvQ

We love going into the cinema not knowing quite what to expect from a movie like The Good Boy, and coming out feeling as surprised as Adam. That's what's so great about a Secret Screening.
This was a surprisingly good film

And were the performances as strong as we've come to expect from Stephen Graham films?
Surprisingly watchable, didn't know what to expect. Stephan Graham is great isn't he

A Clockwork Orange has been mentioned when talking about The Good Boy, that's some accolade.
@Cineworld#TheGoodBoy was a fantastic Film and I was personally surprised how good it was.

Stephen Graham was Excellent as was the rest of the cast.
Modern twist of A Clockwork Orange wittout the nastiness.
Only 7 walkouts and that was at the beginning before the film got going.
Absolutely amazing 🤗
