Featured review
Expectations were high for this film - and man, wow, not only did it deliver, but it delivered in style!
Beautiful cinematography, enjoyable music, adorable story that the viewer (especially ppl among the LMBTQ community) could identify with.
The struggles of the boy (Elias) were depicted masterfully, and the happy ending was excellent - good to see a movie that puts more emphasis on the positive side of the topic.
However, this is my only critics to the film (that's why it's 'only' 10/9) - that I found it overly optimistic. Real life, unfortunatelly, is not like this.
A little bit more screentime could have been devoted to some drama about bullying, or refusal, because let's face it, there are always haters in real life.
Yes, there were minor hints about this in the film here and there, but a few more scenes should have been put into it about the negative sides. This could have made Elias's fears more understandable. In the end, it created an almost dream-like scenario.
However, this is a minor issue. One that doesn't really snaps you out of the immersion at all.
(I just felt like I have to explain the 9 stars)
We have to also talk about how excellent the cast were! The actors played their role wonderfully - even the young ones, so hats off really.
Now stop wasting your time by reading my review, go and watch it instead!
