Disco Boy is a lean but sweepingly ambitious film crafted with formal rigor. Read full review

Alex Saveliev

Feb 6, 2024

Disco Boy is not your average war drama, or sociopolitical study, or character dissection, or psychedelic trip. It’s all of those things, and Giacomo Abbruzzese wouldn’t have it any other way. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Wendy Ide

Apr 2, 2024

While the plot itself is a little nebulous, the atmosphere that Abbruzzese creates, through a hypnotic, pulsing electronic score and Rogowski’s febrile presence, is unnerving and intense. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Croll

Feb 21, 2023

At a taut and elliptical ninety minutes, a couple of awkward final steps hardly feel like fatal flaws. Getting in, getting down, and getting out as style hopping sizzle reel, Disco Boy heralds a promising new talent who totally has the moves. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

It’s a somewhat unfocused narrative, relying on music and “disco” dance as a bonding device, one of a few novel touches in a story that’s all-too-familiar. Read full review

While Disco Boy is gorgeous to look at, a more coherent script would have done wonders to hold the movie together. Read full review

Unfortunately, Disco Boy is afflicted with the curse of trying to pack too much (in terms of both style and substance) into its 92-minute runtime, rendering it incapable of saying much at all. Read full review
