Foster Boy highlights an issue we seldomly see on the big screen in the foster care system. Centered around the relationship between a middle aged white man and a young Black man, it is a refreshing dynamic that we need to see a lot more of onscreen.

3/5

Even if the storytelling is oddly timid and obvious, and occasionally implausible, what emerges still manages to carry an enormous emotional punch. And it shines a light on an endemic problem.
