In a Moment

For many reasons, a niceshort film. For predictability. For simplicity reminding that subject so often used. For modesty and correctness. Not great performances, not high story. The real bad detail - the character. The good thing - the song. Sure, a lot of cliches and not comfortable manerism, too much sentimentaly and absurde situation. But, having a precise target, it is absurde to be more severe about it. So, just nice.

I liked it a lot. You will too! Watch and enjoy boys!

But for all that, I loved it! Many of the usual clichés were there. Herr Hoffman didn't want a gay son, Frau Hoffman would want a kid to be happy. There's the female best friend - or to be unkind, the fag hag. There's an unreconstructed homophobe. And a teacher who seems to have sussed the situation and inspires Max to write his love song.

The actor playing Max clearly can't play the guitar and someone else is doing the finger work for him.but he did a pretty impressive job of singing the song he'd composed for Leon.

Sugary sweet this short might have been, but it brought a lump to my throat as Leon moved forward. And it brought a laugh to see Herr Hoffmann's face right at the end.

I recommend it for a bath of fuzzy sacharine.
