I have mixed feelings about this. I felt like it was missing something and a little too vague at times. It was good but I think it had the potential to be great.

Anyway, for those who are itching to see it, it’s coming to A24’s screening room 2/28 and regular rent/buy streaming 3/3 https://screeningroom.a24films.com

I loved it and I think the vagueness was on purpose. Director Lukas Dhont has made some remarks supporting that.

It's a strong movie. I like the way it depicts a close teen male friendship. It's very relatable. It could have been a bit longer to flesh out the relationship and characterization more. It felt abrupt once

Despite that, it's definitely a movie I want to rewatch as soon as possible, because it really stuck with me.

I drove a couple hours again to see it at a different theater that got it last weekend. Went with my friend and his girlfriend. They thought it was beautiful and I still found it to be an amazing film.

I hope to see the leads in many more movies.
