Set in 1965, “This Boy” is a funny and charming film which traces an afternoon in the life of Kit, an imaginative, ardent tomboy of eleven who idolizes John Lennon and secretly goes about dressed like him. One spring afternoon, Kit and her best friend Mike decide to pay a visit to their classmate Holly, Kit’s crush. What begins as a light-hearted adventure shifts as the two friends get further from home. Kit and Mike are surprised by what they see en route, and even more so by their own actions and poorly understood desires.
