Because of a Boy Ratings & Reviews
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
undercooked in comparison to similar feature films
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Even if [it] has a slightly mustry, afterschool special message to impart...the picture delivers it with sufficient charm and complexity to escape TV-movie mediocrity.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A sensitive coming-of-age story that, while not trailblazing in terms of originality, manages to be quietly affecting.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
A well-done version of an old tale - they manage to make it interesting and Julien Baumgartner makes it feel like his personal story.
Dallas Morning News
Matt Weitz
You can see the emotions of the characters pass through the actors' faces and bodies. Mr. Baumgartner shines brightest, perhaps because his character is the most conflicted.
Entertainment Today
Brent Simon
Genuinely engaging performances from Baumgartner and Maravalidealized are kind of wasted in this idealized and dramatically weightless coming(-out)-of-age story...
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
There's a naturalness to the entire cast, yet there is considerable depth to the portrayals, and the interplay between the characters is exceptionally rich and nuanced.
L.A. Weekly
Chuck Wilson
This fast-paced, well-acted film brings emotional integrity to a familiar tale.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Sensitive and uplifting.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Does anybody care?
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The story's celebration of honesty is commendable, even if the treatment of homophobia is no deeper than the hero's swimming pool.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Well-meaning and hopelessly bland.
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
Resonates with earnest truthfulness and packs a surprising dramatic punch.
Chicago Reader
Joshua Katzman
While Cazeneuve's story is about gay love, it also charts universal truths about adolescent romance and high school politics with great aplomb.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Couldn't be more honest or compassionate in depicting the handsome sensitive teenager's coming out story.
