Review of Lost Boy

Lost Boy (2015 TV Movie)
9/10
Highly Entertaining
5 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A really enjoyable film that feels more like an edgy indie character driven thriller than Lifetime fare. Writing, Cast, and direction are all top notch. Terrific gem of a suspense film with plenty of twists and thrills that kept me guessing. I particularly was drawn into Virgina Madsen's characters journey-- her loss then acceptance of (spoiler alert) the young man coming into her life claiming to be her lost son. It was a fascinating turnaround of events which kept making me guess and wonder based on the unfolding clues-- (spoiler alert) whether he is or isn't really her son... and was finding the son's character journey equally as compelling -- whether he was or wasn't the true son... and how much did that matter if there is the same experience and loss in their lives and they match up like damaged puzzle pieces. Fascinating character stuff explored here.
