PD

These boys are so hot and steamy... oh and the drama aint bad either. Enjoy!

An impeccable script, great actors, an ideal staging and directing, magical and bewitching music, a kind message ... It is impossible to detach, we want to see it again and again. It's just some kind of magic! Magic! This is the case when the film brings tears of happiness! Thank you very much Olivier for this wonderful, sincere and touching film! I definitely recommend this beautiful movie to everyone!

Simply fantastic. I've rated more than a thousand films and this is only the second time I feel compelled to write a review.

The acting is superb, I've never seen acting on this scale in a short film before. The story keeps you fully engaged throughout and unlike so many other shorts on this topic there is no unnecessary staring off into the distance for what feels like forever or sitting numbly on a bed and not answering someone's questions. People in this one actually make sense. It does have its subtle moments (it's French, after all) but you don't have time for your mind to start wandering and thinking about other stuff.

The chemistry between the two leads is off the charts. I don't even know how many times I've watched this, they are simply captivating together. I'll be forever grateful to the youtube algorithm for this one, it's one of the best things I've seen and I wish it was a feature.

"PD" ("Fag") is a daring and moving story about facing the courage of coming out as gay during the turbulent years of adolescence. Here, Thomas (Paul Gomerieux) is a guy who is attracted to newcomer in school Esteban (Jacques Lepesqueur) and the first chance of encountering comes in the form of a play where both guys end up kissing each other, you know the bottle game. But when school time returns, the rumours are spread that Thomas is homosexual, which sets him apart from everyone and his friends, and even causes Esteban to keep on rejecting him and asking for Thomas to stay away from him.

But comes a plot twist between the two of them when during the many rejections he suffers, Thomas is persecuted by Esteban in a violent manner that always ends with some tenderness, some awkward yet exciting passionate moments between them. Little by little Thomas gets to know that the other dude might be bisexual; and he uses of such fact to break from his shell and make more demands on the other guy. Gotta come out baby...

I absolutely loved the acting, specially Gomerieux, who got the risky role of the shy teen who loves someone who's totally out of his depth, and he deals with loneliness in school except for a gay teacher who lectures his class about the importance of homosexuals and how the kids shouldn't keep calling themselves with gay slurs (best scene in the movie along with the interactions between Thomas and Esteban). The movie teach young gays in how to deal with issues of self-confidence, respect, pride and dignity. I loved the movie for all of those reasons and more. Watch it, find out and you'll be amazed. 10/10.

Love this so much. The acting,the script are pure perfection. The scene where Thomas cries will break your heart. The turmoil inside Esteban trying to fight this attraction to Thomas. That scene is inspired. And the scene with the history teacher is just brilliant. I'm just sad that a film like this has to be made now to tackle homophobia.
