This film bears a similarity to Call Me By Your Name in the way that it has been filmed. The cameraman has an artists eye and it has been recorded in some beautiful locations. And it's about a young boys teenage experiences.
It also bears a resemblance to Food Of Love and not just because Juliet Stevenson plays the mother of a gay lad in that one too, but the semi-love triangle is a common motif. I'm beginning to think she may be a little type cast?
It's a nice story, although it doesn't really get anywhere. I like something with a good ending personally. It's full of passion and emotion which creates drama. I can't help wondering whether I should feel bad that I've never felt so angry or confused that I've acted out in some of the ways portrayed here. Or should I feel happy that I deal with my drama better?
I felt that the lead, played by Alex Lawther was acted very well. An eccentric character with many quirks who can't have been easy to play. The character of Clement was cute, so he kept me watching and his story was interesting anyway. I don't really feel that the Dad was needed in the film and we could have seen the reactions to him from phone calls, rather than in the flesh and in fact his side of things didn't really add anything.
I might like to see a follow up film showing what happened next as, like I say, it all seems a bit open ended.
Worth a watch and I would consider buying it to keep in my DVD collection.
