Big Boys

It’s sweet without being saccharine and gives us a lead character who doesn’t always do the right thing. Seek it out.

With low-budget “Big Boys,” Sherman crafts a memorable outing on limited means, brought to life by an unusually endearing cast.

The film captures with enormous sweetness feelings probably familiar to many queer adolescents still figuring out who they are — of insecurity, questioning and giddy crushes on frequently unattainable objects of desire.

Delicate, unique and subtly magical.

Big Boys is a really sweet film with big feelings and the love and space to be able to process them. A gorgeous watch.

This sensitive coming-of-age story takes its time building characters around small but consequential moments.

Big Boys finds its stride with exploring the relatable growing pains of its lovable lead Jaime, with a queer twist.

It is entirely specific in its chronicle of a few days in Jamie’s life, but there’s something universal in its observations.

Isaac Krasner is incredible ... Jamie is a painfully-recognizable creation — at times, he’s a bundle of nerves — but there’s so much about this kid that he hasn’t yet learned to be self-conscious about.

The charming and amusing coming-of-age film Big Boys tells the story of one teenager’s sexual awakening on a sun-kissed camping trip.
