Christianity offers the teachings of Jesus in the form of his commandments as a way to live like him, but there are arguments made that a Bible isn’t necessary to be a decent human being. In his latest feature, which premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, writer-director Warwick Thornton examines these competing topics with sincerity and wonder. With his story and direction comes magical encounters that intermingle culture and new religion from a child’s perspective. The New Boy is an ethereal experience with transcendent performances from Cate Blanchett and Aswan Reid that will leave lasting impressions.
