My Boy

About This Movie

In 'My Boy,' there’s this eerie sense of disquiet that builds through Sarah's seemingly innocuous interactions with Johnny, the toddler she claims is her cousin's son. The pacing has this slow burn, letting the tension simmer beneath the surface. As Sarah dresses him up and introduces him to her circle, you start to feel that unsettling atmosphere where something just doesn’t add up. It’s the ambiguity of her motives that keeps you guessing, and the performances—especially from the lead—are raw and layered, drawing you deeper into her psyche. It’s not quite straightforward; it plays with themes of motherhood and deception in a way that feels both intimate and unsettling. A unique exploration of relationships that doesn’t shy away from discomfort.
