Pretty Boy

About This Movie

Pretty Boy is a gritty little drama that dives deep into the darker side of youth. It follows Nick, a 13-year-old runaway, who’s strikingly handsome but quickly learns the harsh realities of life on the streets. The film captures his descent into male prostitution with a rawness that's both uncomfortable and compelling. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to sit with Nick's internal struggles, while the atmosphere feels heavy with an almost suffocating sense of despair. Performances are solid, especially from the young lead, who embodies both innocence and a surprising toughness. It’s not just about the shock value; it’s a tough reflection on what it means to seek love and acceptance in all the wrong places.
