That picture above isn't from the movie but today is the 10th anniversary of the US release of Andy's film Boy A, which I absolutely loved at the time but which I haven't seen since. Due a re-visit, for sure! The film basically introduced Garfield to the world - he'd done some TV before that in the UK (including two episodes of Doctor Who) but this was his first film and the strength of his performance, and the film-making from director John Crowley (who'd go on to make Brooklyn most recently)...
... carried this one to a lot of eyes and before you knew it wham Spider-man, Tonys, Emma Stone, et cetera. In my mind this remains, give or take a Never Let Me Go or Red Riding, Garfield's greatest performance but like I said, it's been ten years. I posted a little bit of Andy shirtless in the movie here, and I posted about this being "The Moment I Fell For" Him - I still remember the dance scene vividly - and I briefly raved about the film when it first came out but mostly used my post as an excuse to screen-cap some gorgeous images from the film - it's really spectacularly shot, which isn't a surprise given what Crowley's shot since.
Anyway have any of you seen it lately?

Haven't seen it in years, but I think about it (and recommend it) all the time. An outstanding performance and a deeply affecting film.
