Boy A (2007)

Garfield is simply stunning in this 2007 British TV-movie (distributed theatrically in the U.S. the following year), and he even nabbed a Best Actor BAFTA Award for his performance as Jack, a shy, tentative man with a dark secret. In his youth, Jack fell under the sway of a troubled friend who involved him in a girl's murder, and after spending his teenage years in prison, he's finally released under a new identity, hoping for a fresh start. Garfield expertly plays the damaged Jack's fumbling, poignant attempts at social interaction and love, and it's doubly heartbreaking when word gets out about Jack's notorious past and the walls start closing in on him again.
