The Good Boy (15)

A young criminal is kidnapped by a dysfunctional family and forced to endure an unusual form of rehabilitation to become a 'Good Boy' in this twisted British thriller. What begins as a bizarre attempt at moral correction quickly spirals into a claustrophobic nightmare, as the couple's warped ideals of discipline, nurture, and family bonding reveal, something far more sinister beneath the surface.

Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough deliver chilling, darkly compelling performances as the husband-and-wife duo whose twisted parenting philosophy drives the story's unsettling momentum. Yet it's relative newcomer Anson Boon who anchors the film with a raw, magnetic turn as Tommy, the unlucky young man trapped in their deranged domestic experiment.
