Company of Four

About This Movie

Company of Four is an interesting piece set in 1915, focusing on four young boys from Crowborough preparing for the harsh realities of war. The film’s tone feels weighty, capturing that sense of youthful naivety clashing with the grim truths of battle. The performances are raw, particularly the chemistry between the boys, which really pulls you into their world. There's a distinct pacing here—slow to build, but it feels right given the subject matter. The practical effects, while not over the top, contribute nicely to the authenticity of the period. It’s the atmosphere that lingers; a mix of camaraderie and impending doom that gives the film its unique edge. Worth a look for those interested in character-driven stories set against historical backdrops.
