Haunting Second World War drama based on the novel by John Boyne. Eight-year-old Bruno (Asa Butterfield), whose father (David Thewlis) is the commandant at a Nazi concentration camp, has just moved with his family into a new house in the countryside, and feels imprisoned by his mother (Vera Farmiga)'s persistent warnings never to venture beyond the garden's high walls. From what he can make of the view from his bedroom window, he thinks he must be living on a strange sort of farm where the workers seem to get straight out of bed and go to work on the fields. When his curiosity leads him through an open door and up to a vast electric fence, he meets a boy there of exactly his own age - but with a very different story to tell.

  • Very good film

    I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Very dramatic and sad at times but the kind of film you get right into and can't stop watching until the end.

  • Great film

    If it weren't so harrowing I would recommend for the standard history syllabus but for a slightly older audience, it's an unmissable film and all the better in blu-ray.
