Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Jun 2, 2025
4/5
Smart and very funny, this romcom from Argentina takes an audacious premise and spins it with snappy dialog that playfully references a wide range of movies along with the titular metaphorical running gags. Go to Full Review

There are those who may be compelled to call this absolute banger repetitive or inconsequential. I'll just go ahead and call it wonderful. Go to Full Review

David H @DaveeHarris 6 days ago An absolutely lovely tongue and cheek romantic comedy. The two leads have great chemistry that slowly builds euphemism after euphemism that keeps you smiling the whole way through. The sun drenched coastal beach setting gives it the nostalgic sun kissed feel which only adds to the warmth. The dialogue is continuously clever and witty, although somewhat repetitive but you tend to look past that due to the ever evolving relationship between the two characters. One of the best LGBT films made in the last 10 years and will become a classic for years to come. It's dreamy euphoric friends to lovers tale. See more Robert A @RT76463924 Aug 30, 2026 A hidden gem. Incredible chemistry between the two leads, a long, slow burn flirtation. A wonderful love story. See more Justin T @RT20830295 Jul 16, 2026 The single greatest romantic comedy of the past decade. See more John W @RT41179890 Jul 11, 2026 Wonderfully beautiful love story. Taps all the right emotions. See more Cheetah K @Cheetah1114 Jul 4, 2026 I watched the whole movie with a big smile on my face! I loved it so much. See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 Jun 18, 2026 The two main characters had some of the most chemistry I have seen between two actors. Also, as a couple, I could see the characters actually staying together past the ending of the movie. They spent a lot of time together and enjoyed each other’s company. This movie was heavy on the flirting and had a great ending. However, Maxi did say that the fake dating (and presumably the flirting) was because he didn’t dare be with him for real. So, with his fear in context, the flirting made sense as he liked him the whole time. See more Read all reviews
