Queer melodrama
Being gay in Wales has to be a trial as, perhaps, all of life is a trial in Wales.
This gay teen coming out film has all the familiar tropes. Some work, some do not.
I have to admit that one demerit goes because of the looks of the cast. Most are not very good looking. Bad Brit teeth and so on.
This is the problem with the gritty new cinema. No dreams about this crowd.
The accents are not difficult for a change. There are some good supportive straight people. And the first love stuff is nice. A bit zitzy but nice. Red dots to not attract me much.
I will not own this but it is nice to see all that's on offer from Great Britain who is somewhere back there on the gay film track but gaining.
I cannot find a trailer. A first. That big a flop I suppose.
