Ryan Gilbey New Statesman11/11/2020
Cinema has been noticeably light recently on blockbuster spectacle, but the sight of this malleable young man learning about himself in real time as the camera rolls can feel as wondrous as any special effects. Go to Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting08/28/2020
4/5
The experience is perfectly setting these kids up for what American democracy is -- it's about winning and losing, your party's success... Boys State, as a chronicle of this experience, accurately then also focuses on winning and losing. Go to Full Review Jo Livingstone The New Republic08/25/2020
The documentary about a political boot camp is a depressingly accurate microcosm of the American electoral circus...helpful-if only as a cautionary tale about what extracurriculars not to enroll your kids in. Go to Full Review Brandon Stanwyck InSession Film07/16/2024
In the end, Boys State becomes an indictment of the whole American election process. Go to Full Review Rory Doherty InSession Film06/13/2024
It's one of the most brilliantly entertaining films of the year, and you'll find yourself ridiculously invested in its central gubernatorial campaign. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast04/30/2024
4/5
A terrifying and nihilistic portrait of the lengths that boys will go to assume power and the dangers it portends for American politics. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
Daniel B@observor02/11/2025I don't know, watching some Texas kids act just as dumb as the adults, any one who finds politics interesting in the first place should have their head examined. See more Leaburn O07/08/2023Fascinating to see how reductively basic the political views of young Americans look to be, even going forward. Really depressing how loud mouth, jock culture isn't just a minority element. It is the defining essence of American youth culture which seems to feed into this civic sponsored mentality of winning at all costs. It's promoted by the respect for officials and government and American's supine deference to the myths of their allegedly unique democratic and liberal credentials. Never mind that those credentials can't hold up to proper scrutiny or comparison with other liberal democracies. It's a country that will remain politically divided and intransigent. The only individual who comes out of the film with any credit is Stephen and he seemed the only remotely sane and authentic person in amongst a field of psychos and morons. Sorry America, but I would have hoped for more from your youngest generations. Now I better understand that your reverence for the flag, officials, the army, constitution and liberal myths of the US, is all part of a rigid establishment indoctrination which hems creative and thoughtful discourse into the straightjacket of perpetuation with the lies that you're happy to swallow. What a sad way to use your freedom of speech and expression. See more Adam C06/21/2023Boys State beautifully highlights the next generation of America's leaders and puts real context behind one of the most selective educational programs in the US. See more06/10/2022Heartwarming, intense and a definitely a film worth watching. See more08/22/2021A great illustration of how quickly and why mob mentality spreads. Chilling how some of those scenes are reminiscent of what happened in Charlottesville. See more Taylor S08/06/2021Wow this movie gave me hope! I thought we were teaching young men not to be men anymore but young gunners still got it! Amazing movie. Great energy. Must see. See more Read all reviews
