Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Irishchatter I felt really sorry for Laurent that he wasn't successful in college because losing a loved one is extremely hard and he just couldn't handle it. I hated the fact that his parents were very much not supportive of their son's decisions. Laurent shouldn't have pretended he was heterosexual, he should've moved on and let himself live his own life regardless of what people think of him.Laurent and Cédric were such a sweet couple but I think they went way too fast like it's they seem to have known each other for days instead of weeks or months. Ah well, at least their love was always there for each other. I was so annoyed that Cedric just went off to Paris like a snap of a finger. It just seemed he wanted to get away from his problems, in fact, talking to the person face to face would make the situation more manageable and a bit better. At least both lived happily ever after in the end!
Armand Nice story. Well cast. And the love as a problem with different nuances but same essence. Not impressive, it is a movie about images and sense of freedom. Errors who must be the necessary gesture and relationships like spider web. With the two beautiful actors, the tall is easy. Usually French film with few drops of gay problems. Result - a work in which the feelings and expectations, fights and gray perceptions are human. It is only a small detail presence of a gay characters. In fact, the most important character is the mothers. Delicate mom of Laurent, for who the truth is a huge hole. The mother of Cedric for who his son is more than a public image. For each of one, the pain is same. Only difference - grow up of answer. But it is only a question of love intensity.
Mystical_lonewolf this French film is without a doubt, the most beautiful film made. I am glad to see that there are films of gay people in a realistic matter and not in a stereotypical way where they die of AIDS, be murdered, act all flamboyant and with a lisp, or anything negative like American media used to do and are still doing but less and less. We need more positive films like this where there's an issue of coming out to people, being in a relationship, living life with a job, place to live, and more. This is a must see. I love it so much, i doubt there is any reason to dislike this film. Definitely deserves a ten! or an Eleven! ah, maybe infinite out of ten! kudos to the people making this film. Laurent and Cedric are totally awesome characters and their scenes keeps me grinning.
todd-223 I've never reviewed a film here but this one - wow! Fantastic! And Stéphan Guérin-Tillié is unbelievably hot!I am from the deep south in the US so I know what an ordeal it is to come out to your parents. In fact, I've had to come out to my mother FOUR times. And I was visiting my father over this last Father's Day and it became apparent that he too has forgotten the last time I came out to him. If only parents knew the PAIN it causes their children to reveal who they really are to their parents, they might try to be more open-minded to knowing who their children REALLY are. This film was so true and honest and the stakes were so real and true-to-life. It is the most personal and affecting film that speaks to me I have ever seen! I only HOPE I meet some as beautiful as Stéphan Guérin-Tillié and caring as Cedric.
