Do you like dull and boring movies? If so then this movie is for you. Same European low budget film which is based on deep meanings where only sophisticated audience will get. Also considered art, not for a shallow thinkers and audience like us. Acting of a 10 year old and a bird. Actually this movie is so boring I could place it in the top 10 boring movies of all time.

A sumptuously photographed slice of life drama about a man and his ten year old son coming to terms with a change in their circumstances. The scenery is both stunning and stark in turns. The writing is spot on; it is astutely observed and achingly accurate. And above all, the acting is first rate. It is so natural that you forget that they are actors. Beauty and heartache abound here, and you will love Jojo, and, at times, hate his father Ronald. And you will wonder why Jojo tries so hard to reach his father. And you will wonder where the mother is in all of this. But throughout, your perceptions will be constantly contradicted. And yet the ending is perfect.

Kauwboy is about a ten year old who finds a bird that fell out of it's nest. He places it back. but the bird falls out again. The boy, Jojo decides he will take care of the bird, which he has to do secretly, because his father has anger issues, stemming from grief, which he sometimes takes out on Jojo. Being able to shower the bird with love, is a welcome distraction for the boy, who deals with frustration and denial.The acting is pretty good, especially since Rick Lens (Jojo) is so young. He portrays emotions well. Loek Peters (the father) is doing a good job balancing between anger and love.This movie is not suited for young children and not "uplifting". In fact, it had me in tears for the most part. Despite this, Kauwboy is certainly worth watching.Spoiler alert regarding the bird: The bird dies. Not by the father.

i really enjoyed the movie it was quite amazing the story line was good the acting was good basically everything. but I didn't enjoy the parts where the boy was always shirtless and also the girl but i loved the movie, the ending was really good instead of everything happy and stuff the bird dies and the son and his father have a better relationship. but I myself have seen many movies the are the same. there is a boy that has no mom and has to live with his dad that is depressed and abuses his son. In other words the movie is to mainstream. i wish u guys comment on my review and help me correct something that i mistaken and thank you. I rated this movie 8 out of 10 since i mentioned what i disliked and liked.
