The Good Boy

Synopsis
In this thriller from Polish Oscar nominee Jan Komasa (Corpus Christi), Tommy (Anson Boon), 19, lives a delinquent lifestyle, going on benders and hooking up. One night he is kidnapped and wakes up chained in the basement of wealthy family, Chris (Graham), wife Kathryn (Riseborough), and son, Jonathan (Kit Rakusen). Under the strict control of Chris, Tommy is punished if he misbehaves and can only eat at the dinner table if he's a 'good boy'. But as Tommy learns more about his captors, instead of dissenting he learns to assimilate – and feels his collar loosen. Produced by legends Jeremy Thomas (Rabbit-Proof Fence) and Jerzy Skolimowski (EO), The Good Boy has the twisted psychological spirit of the Greek New Wave.
