  A good example of adolescence and human nature
  
  A nice film, a warm look at adolescence and human nature. Good empathy with the characters. Well done for such a young filmmaker.

  A little bit formulaic, but watch-able. And nice acting by the main characters.
  
  The characters evoke understanding and empathy, and maybe a bit of ... read more »

  Watchable and fun
  
  This coming of age / coming out story has a teen flick feel to it but perhaps far less comedy.
