National Theatre: 'Master Harold’… and the boys (2019)
St George's Park Tea Room, Port Elizabeth, 1950. On a long rainy afternoon, employees Sam and Willie practise their steps for the finals of the ballroom dancing championship. Hally arrives from school to hide out in his parents’ tea room. These two men have been unlikely best friends to Hally his whole life. But it is apartheid era South Africa: he’s Master Harold, and they are the boys. Tony Award-winning playwright Athol Fugard’s semi-autobiographical and blistering masterwork explores the nature of friendship, and the ways people are capable of hurting even those they love.

Very disappointed :(

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
