Short and sweet
The 73 minutes of today's feature are as packed as a 90-120 feature would be.
Wonderful photography and gorgeous (southern) locations frame the beautiful relationship of two boys who will separate soon, one to go away to school, the other to stay home.
Everything works for the good in this sweet romance which pays little attention to so called "gay issues". They are alone to do what they wish. And they do.
It is a romance, not a bit salacious and quite realistic in the way such things go.
I am glad that they had enough courage to do this in a slightly shorter duration than standard. The story and the action come first.
It blooms then it is over just as everyone expects that it will be.
I have been trying to fit the word "elegiac" in here. So there it is. And again. Elegiac. I didn't know how to spell it.
I will buy this one. A 5 out of Netflix5.
