Touching, yes, but as for me, they still could not convey this spark, this love. Still, as for me, the more adult actors in such films are good, I'm not saying that they did not exceed expectations, the film is good but not Wow

I think they tried to show more the reaction and perception of others to non-standard relationships. Experiences in adolescence, how it all looks inside. I don't think we should expect any super chemistry here) The guys played well

So this is what a tolerant, healthy family looks like.

A very good movie, but as if the final conversation between Elias and Alexander was not enough

It's a very cool movie! In the end, when Elias presented the drawing to his grandfather, I shed a tear.

I really liked the movie, it's so light, sweet, gentle, just like I love it! but yes, I agree with the comment above that it would also be good to look at the conversation between Elias and Alex, as if they had simply omitted the "problem" that happened, but this is not a joke): but in general, everything is very cool!

The feeling of watching a movie is like watching a social advertisement. It seems that the creators could not decide whether they were making a "comfortable movie" or covering the problem of homophobia in a seemingly modern tolerant country. As a result, there was a conflictual middle ground and a happy ending that stood out against its background, where everyone abruptly forgot about the problems simply because.

Although it should work well as a movie for queer teenagers going through their first love and self-acceptance, it turns out to be too narrow.

The film left me with rather contradictory impressions. Unfortunately, many of the moments looked cringe-worthy and too fake. Plot twists and dialogues often seemed unnatural, which greatly distracted from the main idea of the film.

I would especially like to mention the performance of the actor playing the role of Elias. Sometimes he caused irritation and dislike. Instead of arousing empathy, he was rather repulsive, and this, of course, affected the overall perception of the painting. As a result, the film failed to convey the emotion and depth that the creators may have originally intended.

I liked the movie! It is both light and unobtrusive, but with a beautiful message inside! Landscapes have become a separate advantage. As a resident of a large city, I have a separate question about looking at rural nature. It automatically adds atmosphere!

There are criminally few LGBT-themed films with young teenagers, so I was glad to see another representative of it, because they rarely come across. Yes, the psychology of the characters is not very deep here, or the conflicts are pushed to the limit, but it seems to me that this was done specifically taking into account the young age. The outbursts of anger that occurred in Elias are understandable, but it would be strange if a 14-year-old boy who fell in love for the first time was generally thinking deeply about something. But the boys in the lead roles are cute and look like someone you might meet somewhere in your neighborhood. In general, everything looked natural!

And a funny fact: for the first 20 minutes of the movie, I was sure that Elias and Valerie were brother and sister, so I was blown away when his parents mentioned that he had a girlfriend and I was like, what? Wasn't that a sister? It's just that the actors are very similar!

It's a good movie about first love. With all the awkwardness, accepting yourself when you've thought differently all your life, fighting the opinions of others, but without unnecessary snot. About how wonderful and scary it is at the same time. Grandfather is generally handsome, and the whole family of Elias in general. And friends, although they talked about "faggots", but without words accepted a friend for who he is. I even shed a tear a couple of times, everything is fine here.
