When basketball-obsessed Aleks moves in across the street, Asian-Canadian teen Jake finds himself trying out for the basketball team to get his attention.

Ben Turner

The Pink Lens

Well-made and entertaining teenage idealism that does a sturdy job at depicting the modern experience of a sexual awakening. Teen audiences will lap this up, but for those well-versed in the coming-of-age genre, this is fairly tepid fayre.

Rated: 3/5

Original Cin

Drama about a gay Chinese-Canadian teen’s coming out is sincere and generous-spirited but suffers from predictable rhythms of an earnest TV drama.

Rated: C-plus

Queer.Horror.Movies.

Golden Delicious, the feature film debut from director Jason Karman and screenwriter Gorrman Lee, doesn’t do much to shake up the [coming out film] formula, though it has enough charm and emotion to satisfy.

Rated: 3.5/5

Shadows on the Wall

Throughout the film, director Jason Karman maintains a wonderfully light touch, and the gifted, fresh-faced cast members are easy to root for.

Rated: 4/5

Eye for Film

Much messier and more like real life than the average coming-of-age film.

Rated: 4.5/5

...what the film gets so right is how a teen's life today is truly not their own, thanks to social media. The movie also captures those coming-out pains in an authentic manner.

Rated: B-
