What are critics saying?
“Boyz in the Wood” is a jolt of irreverent fun that wants you to laugh at the stupid and depraved behavior of teenage boys but also to know that at the end of the day, the kids will be all right.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
A too-familiar vibe hangs over much of the film, whose comic violence is nothing new and whose banter underwhelms, but the pic gets more fun as it goes, especially after an unlikely hallucinogen makes its entrance.
We Got This Covered by Luke Parker
Doff’s directorial debut bursts off the screen with eccentric energy and yet, retains a relentless sense of duty to the company its characters keep. It’s effectively touching as a display of camaraderie, equally ridiculous, and a great deal of fun.

A very funny black comedy that also works as a satire of British aristocracy. Director Ninian Doff's background as a music video director is apparent, but this is not a bad thing. The scenes set to music are not only visually appealing but also well incorporated into the narrative.
