Us, Boys

About This Movie

Us, Boys is a documentary that feels intimate, almost like a voyeuristic peek into the lives of Collin and Gilles. The pacing is reflective, letting moments breathe, which really captures the essence of childhood and the complexities of growing up with a father whose presence is fleeting. What’s striking is how the film juxtaposes military life with the innocence of youth—Collin's curiosity about his father's experiences adds depth. The atmosphere is both warm and tense, as you can feel the weight of expectations and the longing for connection. The performances feel genuine, pulling you into their world. You can sense their bond, which makes the family's dynamics even more compelling.
