From Academy Award® nominated director Jan Komasa, HEEL is a twisted thriller that follows 19-year-old hooligan Tommy (Anson Boon), who revels in a life of drugs, parties, and violence. One night, on a bender with his reckless friends, he becomes separated from the group and is abducted by an unknown figure (Golden Globe® winner Stephen Graham). Though he is no stranger to inflicting violence, he is enraged and horrified when he wakes to find himself chained in the basement of the isolated suburban family home of Chris (Graham), his wife Kathryn (Academy Award® nominee Andrea Riseborough), and their young son Jonathan (Kit Rakusen). The family sets out to reform Tommy's unruly behavior, forcing him to comply with their relentless mind games or seek escape at any cost.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian Oct 13
4/5
There is something very theatrical about Good Boy -- I can imagine this on the London West End stage. Perhaps it would be much less with a lesser cast: Graham and Riseborough execute the bland nastiness expertly. Go to Full Review India Block London Evening Standard Oct 9
4/5
It’s a sick premise that only gets sicker, but sometimes sickness in the cure. Good Boy is tonally unique. Go to Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable Sep 16
If you're seeking funky and fucked-up entertainment, Good Boy should scratch that late-night movie itch. Go to Full Review James Mottram Radio Times Jan 21
3/5
The final act doesn't quite pay off, with characters' motives left frustratingly opaque, but the film is blessed with cast-iron performances, especially from Graham and Boon. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Movie Oubliette (Podcast) Oct 30
4/5
By subverting expected narrative developments, Khalid and Bartosik's screenplay tackles something much more human and interesting than your average "locked in the basement" text. Graham, Riseborough and Boon are all excellent. Go to Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder Oct 18
2.5/5
Good Boy ends up sending mixed messages about what it’s trying to say, some of which are far more concerning than others when you pause to think about their disturbing implications. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
