de fato tratou tudo com muita superficialidade e forçação. A atuação foi horrível, e com certeza foi dirigido por um hétero relatando a homofobia de forma rasa e estereotipada. Mas ainda sim assisti e gostei de algumas partes

Pretty ok movie !! I gave it a bang average rating, for a few reasons.
The movie is heavy on homophobia, which does portray struggles of being a Queer person in High-school, so that was an accurate touch especially after certain events like being publicly outed.
Do I think that the homophobia was resolved too easily? Absolutely. Nathan was bullied far too viciously, for the bullies to randomly decide to stop just because he stood up for himself one-time. I do not think that that was entirely accurate, however it was obviously nice to know that the harassment towards Nathan didn’t continue (that we saw.)
Another downside about it, was that ending? What was that ending? A pretty unresolved and abrupt ending if you ask me, completely unsatisfactory and confusing. I am glad that it did work out between Nathan & Louis of course, and that’s why the ending was such a downgrade. If you’re planning on / have seen it, you’ll likely know what I mean. It felt like just another part of the movie: nothing (in my opinion) like what an ending should be and I’m partial to a sad ending, but that? What even happened?
In order to not end this longwinded review on a negative note, I did catch myself smiling at the movie a few times. I’m glad that the boys self-development came into action, and they could feel closure within themselves (even with the absence of approval from certain characters) which is the most important thing. Would consider watching again 😓!
