Alright i need to justify myself for this, im embarrassed to even log this because it is that serious.
So what happened, i was looking for “explicit” gay movies and i came across this on reddit and i took the worst decision ever (besides from just watching this) I decided to watch this completely blindy, not checking reviews or the plot or anything which was a very bad choice..
My opinion on this is DONT WATCH IT! Its a waste of time trust me.
It could’ve been a good movie but what i understood was them just trying to normalise whatever is going on here and god whyyyy.
The worst thing was making the adults view they’re relationship since the start of the movie, basically since they were kids when there was nothing weird to it
Making theyre parents acknowledge how the relationship would’ve gone makes it too obvious for the viewers besides making no sense.
The plot was so rudhed, it didn’t explain the reason of why the relationship was going that way and at one point they clearly had no ideas anymore, so they started to put a bunch of random stuff to fill the void of this movie and not make it boring, which they failed to do.
They were really so eager to show how uncomfortable and taboo this movie was by rushing everything and making everyone die, seriously? How do you even make this choice i found it.. interesting?
Anyway no one reading this and no one cares but i have to say one last thing
Do not be scared to make longer movies! Id rather watch a 3 hours movie than an hour and a half movie were nothing makes sense LOL.

Visually, this movie is stunning, and the lead actors have undeniable, natural chemistry. They sell the intimacy so well that it could have been a top-tier romantic drama.

​HOWEVER , the creative choice to make them brothers is baffling. BROTHERS?!?!! If they were childhood friends or literally anything else, it would work beautifully. Instead, the "ick factor" of the premise completely overshadows the talent on screen. A well-acted, beautiful-looking missed opportunity.
