Sublime

It seems a sum of virtues. From the admirable young actors to the beautiful music, plot and gentle - precise exploration of youth , in its basic traits ,its feelings, reactions, love and revenge, try to be like others and torture of unspoken truths with simplicity and rare science to explore details.

A film about friendship, love and ( self ) discover.

Seductive at whole, powerful, delicate and wise crafted scene by scene.

In short, for reasons to discover step by step, a pure delight because its realism is far to be essence of manifesto or demonstration of forms of correctness.

A beautiful film , impressive for authentic freshness, for dialogues and for cinematography.

Easy to love it.

It's not that bothered me somehow, it was just so empty and wordless that gets tired. This movie doesn't communicate nothing interesting during its entire history.

I have to admit that it does have sensibility scenes and a little bit of reflection, but it's still not enough to cover a repetitive and slow emotional pallets.

Instead of dreams demonstrating how Manu felt about Felipe, why not develop their relationship during the years and then how they should deal with challenges? It's just how I see a handful of ideas thrown into a melancholic and spiritless disappointing teenage drama.

However, it does have a right direction carried in long plans, with insufficient emotional charge.

The story of "Sublime" is quite simple and one-sided, yet well told. Eventhough the theme of exploring one's sexuality in their teenage years has already been filmed many times in recent years, "Sublime" offers a very unfussy and intimate insight into the life and mind of Manuel without much drama or a big unexpected twist - which I would say is a good quality in this case. Because it concentrates around the character of Manuel, a 16 year old boy who started having feelings for his male best friend, this film could be attractive for younger generation of viewers, who could easily see themselves being the main character in this film.

Sublime is one of my favourite independent films of 2022. All the elements of great movie making, magically come together in this very realistic coming of age film from Argentina.

The first thing I appreciated about this film (compared to similar North American films), is that the actors look like the age they are playing. All the young actors that make up the majority of the cast, were extremely believable and relatable. The lead actor Martin Miller who plays "Manu", was completely in the moment from beginning to end. He is a likeable character, that held the story together.

The script was perfect and the use of dreams to communicate the subconscious, was very well down.

I liked everything about this movie, but my absolute favourite part was the music. Most of the main characters were playing live music throughout the entire film. Whoever did the Audio for this film, did a masterful job.

The final thing I will say, is that this is a movie that anyone can watch. The lead character maybe gay, but it is not what I would call a typical "Gay" movie. I would say it is actually a film about discovering real love for another person, who you have been close to for a long time.

I hope this film gets released on Blu-ray disc and not only DVD. Such a high quality film deserves to get a Blu-ray disc release!!!

I would say that this film didn't meet the expectations i had after reading all the positive reviews and recommendations.

The story is indeed interesting and original. What didn't really amaze me is the way the story develops, since I found the characters' interaction with each other particularly static and with no actual profound moment.

The storytelling is very slow and monotonous, without a single hint of enhancement throughout the whole movie.

What I did appreciate about this film is the way the main character is portrayed, a depiction of LGBT people that stays true to the reality of the majority of queer people in Argentina and in many other parts of the world.
