Gentle and reflective, Blue Gate Crossing ultimately doesn't make a terribly strong impact, but it does impress with its well-composed visual style and sensitive handling of bittersweet emotion.

A wise, perceptive marvel: a gentle fable about an especially cruel time of life.

I must have added this to my Netflix rental queue ages ago when I was heavily into foreign films and I've had it since April 2013. It's a simple enough coming of age story that involves a love triangle between two best friends and a boy on the swim team. I didn't feel like there was any real substance and plodded along slowly.

It is cute, it is silly, it is sweet. Feels like yesterday, I was one of those high schoolers. But now I also feel so old at the same time.

i love these sort of coming of age storys. So nice. Reminded me of the movies Like grains of sand and Blue. I like hoe everything is not so clear cut and everyone is growing.
