Tyrique Brady

Tyrique Brady, that’s a name you might’ve heard floating around if you’ve got your finger on the pulse of new cinema. The dude made waves with The New Boy (2023), and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. The film drops you into the raw, restless world of a young Aboriginal boy, tossed into a remote monastery in 1940s Australia. It’s not your average coming-of-age flick, trust me. There’s this wild tension between spirituality and survival, with Tyrique’s character always caught in the crossfire. He barely says a word, but man, the kid’s eyes do all the talking—so much pain, wonder, and, yeah, a little mischief too. The story’s not spoon-fed to you. It’s messy, jagged, and full of moments that’ll make you squirm or just sit there thinking, “what did I just watch?” Cate Blanchett turns up as a nun with her own secrets, and the whole thing hums with this dreamlike, sometimes almost mystical vibe. The land itself feels alive—haunting shots of the outback, the echo of distant chants, and that thick, unspoken grief hanging in the air. There’s stuff about faith, identity, colonialism, and this weird, beautiful magic running through it all. Brady’s performance totally anchors the chaos, making you root for the kid even if you’re not sure what he’s really after. In short, it’s not a popcorn movie, but if you dig films that leave your brain buzzing, The New Boy’s got you.
