Boys State

POSITIVES…

  • Very fascinating documentary about the political process as demonstrated by 1100 sixteen to eighteen year old young adults in Texas.

  • This film manages to capture incredible character arcs with the individuals they chose to feature. It was hard not to get invested with where the stories were going.

  • Plot twists, surprises, and reveals! There were some awesome ones here!

  • Gotta love how the subplot about impeachment went.

  • Scenes on what people will do to get votes. So many familiar political stuff that we all can relate to.

  • The speeches! It had fun showing some bad ones, but the good ones they did show were fantastic to listen to.

  • This documentary should open your eyes a bit about politics, ideologies, discourse, and how we all as human beings should consider going about it.

  • Also consider this, but this might have just shown us some future political leaders.

NEGATIVES…

  • It’s still a film about politics, and not everybody is going to like that.

  • With there being two political camps in this story, the documentary unfortunately focuses on one camp just a bit more than the other.

  • There’s a bunch of stuff I wish this documentary actually covered.
