Awesome Movie

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I freakin hate this movie. (i obviously love it) im crying and im pissed. i loved it but that... threw me for a loop.. i did not see it coming.omz :'''(

I know this won't be much of a review. I'm actually still trying to process the movie in my head.The storyline was absolutely touching, and it's rare that a film actually leaves me in tears at the end, and this has to be the hardest I've cried after a film. Sure the acting could have been better most times, but everything else made up for it. It was such a job well done.I really do appreciate the fact that an indie film has had such an impact on me. This is definitely something to add to my favourites to watch again in the future. Again, I have never been so touched by a movie like I have by this one.

Kid#1 losing brother in freak accident? check. Kid#2 with catatonic mother and little sis with down syndrome? check. Kid#1 & kid#2 falling in love? check. Catalyst for kid#1 & kid#2 falling in love school project for kids giving their own version of Romeo and Juliet immortal love story? check. Abusive father for kid#2 driving him to bad decision? check. From trauma to trauma unsparing editing? check. Amateur, unfortunate chemistry between the kids? check. Full fat lips Dafoe-perfect for the job, though the job is not done if you excuse my pun? check.Shameless presentation of suicide? Your call. Add all ingredients with two chunks of cringe-worthy Beethoven pianistic sentiment and chill; spill on screen. Garnish with snowflakes.Goes best with monster pies.

I'm kind of astonished at the glowing reviews here. Did we all see the same movie?The one I saw was chock full of scenes plucked from dozens of other movies and a plot that was picked up in a second hand plot store. The actors seem adequate, but it's a little hard to tell because the material they have to work with is so awful. The film is in always in focus, and the sound quality is good. That's about it for positive qualities. I suppose if you're young, or haven't seen many gay movies, you might mistake this for art. It's not. It's tripe. Cross it off your list.
