It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

almost a documentary about the confusion of an age, it has two great virtues - Ben Whishaw and the right manner to use a delicate theme. story of a wake up, it is a cocktail of images, sounds, impressions and suggestions. an exploration of himself, around a swimming pool , who has as axis sexuality but , more important, the right understanding of reality. for many ex-teenagers, the film is real interesting not exactly as slice of memory but as trip in the air of a period who remains basis for assume adulthood. for other, under Peter Pan syndrome, the film preserves the feelings of first step to discover yourself blocked in time. Ben Whishaw , from the Perfume, is the most inspired choice for translate the fight against yourself for conquer the truth. the sensibility and the fascinating manner to give the force of the small details are bricks of this beautiful film.

"Baby" is an 11.5-minute short film from almost 15 years ago. The writer and director is a man who goes by the pseudonym of "W.I.Z." and has never made another film again. I cannot say this bothers me too much as all I watched here was only intended to be controversial, but did not leave a memorable impact at all, especially in terms of the sexual scenes like a group of girls masturbating on the main character. Thumbs up to the director though for casting a certain Ben Whishaw very early in his career. He is a big star now, appears in films loved by critics and blockbusters like "Skyfall" and "Spectre". It was certainly not his fault that "Baby" turned out fairly forgettable. All in all, not a good watch. thumbs down.

A teenage boy finds all around him has sexual overtones as he lives a teenage life of drugs and masturbation.Not quite sure what the point was here. Is this based on the directors experiences? If so then why didn't it have more detail or direction to it. Instead we have a 10 minute w**k. The main character lies on his bed taking hits from his bong and thinking over things such as men and women's bodies at the pool etc while he…..well…..gets off.And that's it! Some parts seem to hint at deeper meaning but none deliver it. The only clever bit is the title sequence that focus on a stomach making us think this is about a real baby only to pull down to the boy's underwear. However after this it's just the dull fantasies of a teenage boy.The lead is good but he doesn't have much to do. Overall this is interesting but it never gets deeper than that. If you want to see everyday things come into a boy's sexual fantasizes then it's worth a watch.

Wheeew! Well this is a film that takes you inside the head of a 15 year old (ish - it's my guess) boy, so yes it is pretty obsessed with sex. I caught it late on channel four last night and wished I'd managed to record it because you just know you aren't going to see anything as unusual, as hypnotic, as suggestive, as intriguing and as enticing for a while. And it's a real treat to get a short to revel in. Somehow, because your attention span is not stretched in the same way, you can just let images and sounds wash over you without worrying about plot or character too much. This basically follows a boy's day at the local swimming pool, as he recalls it later lying in bed doing the obvious things boys lying in bed do (smoking pot and w***ing if you must know). But it's beautifully done, witty, suggestive and sensual. As the director himself said, "It's not about being gay or straight, it's about the pleasures of the flesh." It certainly is.
