| I liked this movie a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually a fan of tearjerkers, or those teenage love stories that seem so much in fashion nowadays. And yet, this movie completely captivated me: it's very well executed, superbly interpreted (and, I add, surprinsingly so, given the young age of the two main actors), and it has a frankness that caught me totally by surprise! The whole movie is actually quite funny. There is a humorous stream that runs along the movie, popping up at the right time, but without ruining the more melancholic or more serious parts. It's a totally honest film, showing us the development of a relationship between two very different people, with all that comes along: laughing, having fun, sharing intimacy, having doubts (and in the particular case of this movie, shame). We stick with these characters, reviewing many of our own thougts and memories, finding things in common and others different, understanding some of the feelings that they're experiencing, because we've experienced them ourselves... and if the end of the movie seems, initially, tough to accept, ultimately we end up accepting it; because we understand that they move along with their lives, and that that doesn't means that their relantionship was futile, or easily forgettable... |
