About This Movie

So, 'The Good Boy' is one of those films that lingers in the back of your mind. It captures this gritty Madrid life, where Angel, the main character, is just drifting through his twenties with a boxing career that feels more like a dream than a reality. You can really feel his struggle to find meaning as he and his mother navigate their tough existence. The arrival of Vidal, a charismatic bank robber, disrupts everything and adds layers to the narrative.
