- Slight account, reticent to the point of inscrutability, of the rehabilitation of a sensitive boy over an unhappy love.

  A little confusing but still a good film!
  
  I enjoyed this film but the jumping forward just confused the plot. But well acted and interesting characters in a good world cinema title. Well worth a go!

  Over-hyped...
  
  An OK-ish film with a slightly un-realistic plot. I was expecting a lot more from this film and came away disappointed.

  The story line was pretty much standard but the continual flashbacks and sideways made it difficult to enjoy or even follow.

  Few action but lovely gay story
  
  This film is probably of greater interest for a gay audience. There is little action, and the story sounds rather banal on paper. But the main actors - two boys... read more »
