The filmmaking is quite unprofessional. The production design is a disaster, and most of the scenes are just fake. The approaches of screenplay, editing and cinematography are the ones typically used in a stage show. The plot sticks strictly to the coming-of-age formula and does not possess any sense of credibility. The characters are either flat and one dimensional or completely marginalized. The actors are too old for their characters and their performances are merely amateurish. In a nutshell, this is not even a film.
