A Boy Called Dad
When he becomes a father at the tender age of 14, Robbie's life quickly spirals out of control. Feeling angry and neglected by his own dad, he kick-starts a series of events that will catapult him at great speed into adulthood. Newcomer Kyle Ward gives a wonderfully assured and impressively mature central performance that belies his young age. Some charming scenes with his dad (played to perfection by Ian Hart) bring warmth and humour to this deeply moving and ultimately uplifting drama.
"Ian Hart is faultless as Liverpool painter and decorator Joe – feckless, funny, heart somewhere near the right place." — Time Out
"Hart and Ward impress as the warring father and son." — The Independent
