Well-written film with a satisfactory storyline and plot that will be of entertainment and interest - especially to the LGBTQ+ community. Delicate and realistic acting along with a sensual, emotional, and romantic plot makes watching this film worthwhile. I would rate this film a solid 8 out of 10 because of its strong storyline, meaningful plot, and excellent acting. Improvement could be used in scenes about Plim's mother and other conflicts in the film. Film could also have made some minor adjustments to achieve a PG-13 rating - to open up to a wider and more suitable audience. The material that makes this an R rating could easily be altered without removing any romantic scenes - but rather just adjusting some of the language and scenes; which will not change the effect of the story. Overall, a decent coming-of-age film with great acting and a very sentimental storyline.

One of the best movies. So deeply and touching to show the lives of ordinary provincial guys. And so much humanity and kindness in this movies, while not the slightest deliberateness.

Rarely have I seen movies so delicate and full of details that you don't see the first time. The plot possibly sounds like a bit of a cliché, but it isn't !The director knew how to make it riveting, taking advantage of the apparently dull scenario, apparently in the 50's or 60's, and of course, the beauty and charm of the boy. Some people might frown at the fact that it is a story of love between two boys. Well, I was enthralled, and moved at that.

'North Sea Texas' aposta em um conto simples, mas muito bem elaborado para contar a história de Pim, um jovem garoto que mora com sua mãe e diariamente observa, pensa e age de acordo com o que sempre lhe fez falta - o afeto. A linha narrativa apresenta uma crescente através da divisão de atos, que também representa a divisão de idade do protagonista, que embora não tenha crescido muito fisicamente, acaba amadurecendo rápido e sozinho.
A fotografia e a ambientação compõe a conversa do público com o diretor, que utiliza de tais recursos para acrescentar estética e apreciação. E é isso que acontece do início ao fim, o filme convida o público para apreciar a história enquanto somos acompanhados de tons que agradam os olhos.
Enquanto a Pim, sua trajetória é intrigante e diferente da de muitos garotos de sua idade, o seu envolvimento com as outras pessoas acaba moldando perfeitamente os acontecimentos. O filme carece de atenção, visto que a partir de um momento, tudo começa a mudar, e essas mudanças que acabam não sendo bem recebidas pelo personagem, mergulhando num mar de revolta e pequenos desastres, mas que para ele surte efeitos gigantescos.
Contudo, 'North Sea Texas' traz elegância ao tratar do descobrimento, traz revolta ao tratar de relações, e traz amor ao tratar de aceitação.

Exploration of sexuality in a mid-20th century Belgium is wonderfully shown in this film, which tackles young love and lust. I wish the characters were more developed in terms of Pim's attraction to his mother's partner, but overall Pim's relationship is very well emotionally developed.
