Nick E A stunning film that tells a story of friendship. Brilliant acting that makes you feel the love that can exist in the innocence of friendship. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Marcelo F Simplesmente Perfeito. A construção das histórias dos personagens principais, trás uma expectativa diferente do que foi nos apresentada no final do filme. Eu passei a colocar este título no meu TOP 5 com facilidade. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review robert p Don't be fooled this is not a gay romance, but just one kid struggling with his homosexuality and even that plays a minor part. I wish I could rate this movie higher but alas I can only rate this movie a *2* star review!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Nossa! Horrível! Filme não acontece nada, além de um rapaz drogado e outro que virou babá do primeiro. Nada de LGBT+, incluíram uma cena com um beijo na bochecha pra pegar pink money. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A very subtle gay coming of age movie. Extremely poignant. Two boys from different backgrounds come together and against all odds form a strong bond. Well written and acted by the two young Argentinian actors. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review johann m Una gran película argentina de temática LGBTQ+ pero que deja de lado los estereotipos de una película gay, haciendo que la historia sea muy sutil y completamente normal. Cuando un adolescente hace amistad con el hijo de unos amigos de su familia, un gran secreto fortalece su lazo. Refleja los increíbles sentimientos que tenemos al crecer con respecto a las personas que nos atraen durante ese tiempo. Deben haber más películas de este tipo, sobre todo películas latinoamericanas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
