Besos Escondidos

Really loved this movie. Great coming of age love story that is sad and lovely at the same time. What the two characters go through separately; what they endure because of a kiss is maddening and disturbing. Still, so good; a must watch.

This an amazing / wonderful movie.

Of course, it sounds very french: Patrick Timsit and all actors are playing as (credible) french parents, school and references are located. But, in all the ways I expected it to be, it sounds right, as well in the feeling of having to comply to adults' expectations than in the internal mood, so different from the exposed one. In a first stage, I totally disliked Louis and then felt "in love" with him. He acts totally right, attracted both to what he thinks right and to what he feels right. This movie enlightens the dual pressure much gays are enduring. Thanks to all actors for their acts their.

Simply put...this is one in a number of really, really good gay coming-of-age movies that have come out in 2016.

In a realistic way, they've tossed aside a number of the clichés, while focusing on the bare-bones issues that 2 young gay boys share in their completely separate life backgrounds and circumstances -- the fear, the bullying, the isolation, the loneliness, and of course, the love.

And this was a well-done love story, top to bottom, with a solid group of actors who all fit their roles perfectly.

Great chemistry all around, a plot that matters, and a script that makes you feel like you're there. Were there some things plot-wise that are unresolved or questionable? Sure, no doubt about it. This isn't a flawless film. But, what matters in the film comes full circle.

For those reasons, this is a terrific, must watch for those interested in the genre. Hats off.

My expectations were pretty low when I fisrt found this movie, I hadn't heard about it and it seems not many people have either. To my surprise, it's a beautiful and so well done movie. Yes, it's about the drama of being gay, coming out, being accepted, finding love... however, Hidden Kisses (French: Baisers cachés) tells us a story of two boys, at first focusing in one of them, and as the movie goes around, the second one is wisely included in the script - and all you can feel is your inner wish for them to be ok, to be loved, to love. Plus the movie brings awareness of the fact that homophobia and bullying are still present in the French schools, and surely in many other countries. And it needs to be discussed, there could be no space for hate and discrimination against love, specifically LGBTQ love. Kudos for the director and specially the cast, great story! LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE!

The story is amazing and really speaks to t he struggles of gay youth and the pressures they face from their peers and families. I was starting to think the ending would be another sad tale that has been done hundreds of times before but it really ended on a high note. The whole production from the script to the cinematography to the acting was expertly done. A rare gem.
