Simply Perfect
Excellent but underrated film
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Three words for this effort: Coulda, woulda and shouda. This had so much potential and the director (?) blew it. A movie must tell a story. This just wandered until it ran out of gas. Too bad.
The third act could be more revealing, the actors are not quite believable, and Jackie's struggle could be a lot more highlighted. But I love how the story is told in subtle and not in spoon-feeding ways.
It's a tough movie, a young guy struggling with his sexuality, but what a beautiful young guy, and an amazing performance. I hope he goes on to great things.
This movie is literally the definition of homophobia. i dont know if this was supposed to be satire or something but its literally this closeted str8 acting masc4masc white twink who ends up killing another twink because his friends wanted weed.........there is virtually no plot and its filled with pointless scenes that try to be artistic but fail miserably.there is no character development. the sister of the twink gets a belly button piercing and thats probably the most exciting part of the movie.if ur going into this thinking its gonna be a romance, think again because its not and it only perpetuates the stereotype that gay love = hookups from grindr. also there are no POC in this movie so that's that..really boring waste of time, sorry not sorry. (also if ur gonna make a movie that revolves around hookups, just show the dick. its not like u were gonna win an oscar for this anyway)
