Perhaps the folks who don't get it have had the fortune of never experiencing broken heartedness before. If so, their opinion matters not because they are the lucky few who have somehow avoided suffering and therefore personal growth.
For the rest of us, those who have had our hearts broken, this film is a monument. Discovering betrayal, and allowing that to motivate poor decision-making which leads to further betrayal. Discovering years of friendship can disappear in a single gay moment, but having the courage to stand firm rather than hide or self-harm.
And the touching innocence and rapturous joy of required love, young love, first love--that section ought to have reverberated with the fortunate few, had they kept watching.
It's a film about love and heartbreak. Is the pacing perfect? No. Is the music perfect? No. But the film is solid and the performances excellent.
