This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

Pretty Boy is an understated Danish coming-of-age film that approaches identity and attraction with a distinctly Scandinavian directness. The drama is modest and not especially polished, but Carsten Sønder finds believable uncertainty in the central character’s search for himself. Its sincerity gives the film more appeal than its low-key presentation might initially suggest.
