I cannot believe that some "critics" awarded one or two stars to a lovely, enjoyable but ultimately sad film. What do you not like? It was shot on a limited budget with two untried actors who gave their most. It had humour, pathos and eventually sadness. I just don't understand how anyone could be unmoved with a film that exposes all the emotions that so many gay men feel unable to express. It was a lovely film, and I do hope the main actors go on to even greater fame. Thank you Australia for a beautiful film.

I know this won't be much of a review. I'm actually still trying to process the movie in my head.The storyline was absolutely touching, and it's rare that a film actually leaves me in tears at the end, and this has to be the hardest I've cried after a film. Sure the acting could have been better most times, but everything else made up for it. It was such a job well done.I really do appreciate the fact that an indie film has had such an impact on me. This is definitely something to add to my favourites to watch again in the future. Again, I have never been so touched by a movie like I have by this one.

Twice I've watched it and both times I've cried at exactly the same spots. Few films deliver a double punch like that. Considering the micro budget, that's a major achievement. Based on spoiler criticism of the ending on IMDb, I almost didn't buy it. Who needs another film with a tragic gay ending but as I was to learn, the tragedy part was quickly followed by redemption. In the aftermath, Mike realizes that the fears both boys had over their sexuality were really overblown. The universal acceptance by the teacher, the parents and even the school bully will serve as notice to any at risk teen that it does indeed get better.I also liked the photographic style. It was competently shot and the colorist has done a fine job. While budget restrictions meant this was always going to have a video feel, I for one appreciate the authentic capture of the southern latitude light. Only films shot in places like Melbourne, Sao Paulo and Cape Town have this crisp electric big sky southern hemisphere look and that can easily be lost when layered with big budget Hollywood "film look" processing. Finally, a note about actor Lucas Linehan. While I can't comment on his acting skills (a role like this is pretty standard teen angst and any soap actor could have rendered it as well), what made his involvement special was his decision to sink his own savings at the 11th hour to save the film. From the interviews he's done, it's clear that struggles with sexuality are not part of his own personal story, yet he felt passionate enough about the project and the director to make a stake. Thank you Lucas! Thank you Lee!

Great story line, well executed plot and very current theme. Yes, I know, it is a very common theme in LGBT movies but what makes this movie different is that it is so fresh and charming in its delivery. Maybe it is because one of the main characters, William, played by Lucas Linehan, has no formal training as an actor and thus he makes his character very believable. Mike, played by Tristan Barr, initially appears to be awkward and uncomfortable in his role until you realize that is exactly the character he is suppose to be...... an awkward 17 year old teenage boy who knows and accepts he is gay but scared and afraid to admit it to anyone except himself. New comer Lucas Linehan is definitely going places.
