Boys Will Be Boys is an atmospheric drama that really captures the gritty essence of Portsmouth. It follows Samuel, an aspiring screenwriter with loads of talent but a network that drags him down. The pacing feels pretty raw, almost mimicking Samuel's own struggles as he spirals into a world of drug use—it's almost a character in itself. The performances are really layered, particularly the way Samuel's journey unfolds, showing both the allure and the destructiveness of that lifestyle. What sets this film apart is its unflinching look at the consequences of choices, all while maintaining a grounded realism that makes you feel for the character as he grapples with his potential and the chains holding him back.
