Amy Biancolli
It makes us feel sympathy for the devil.
Christy DeSmith
Director John Crowley, a veteran Irish theater director now working in film, is deliberate with every last element of his film.
Kamal Al-Solaylee
Even its structurally weaker moments give Garfield an opportunity to expand on Jack's physical and mental dislocation. Given Boy A's final floating reel, it's an anchoring performance in every sense of the word.
J. R. Jones
The movie is taut with suspense but culminates in wise resignation as the hero comes to understand he's running from a part of himself.
Stanley Kauffmann
Crowley gets a remarkable performance from Andrew Garfield: his Jack is a person who carries guilt with him even when he is trying to override it.
John Hartl
Boy A is one of those rare movies that takes the idea of rehabilitation seriously. In the end, it may present a worst-case scenario, but it does so with unusual depth and conviction.

Ruthe Stein
In tandem, the director and screenwriter build up a palpable suspense. Boy A will rivet you while raising issues about forgiveness and just who deserves it.
