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.

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.

This is a fairly subtle gay coming-of-age tale that should more accurately have been titled "Sublimated." It skillfully integrates Manu and Felipe's progress in developing a rock band with the warming of their personal relationship.

Periodic vignettes of Manu and Felipe remind of what is operating behind the straight façade, but there is no outright sexual activity. The furnished van in the woods that is set up for illicit encounters could have served that purpose. It is actually a vehicle to give the plot a secondary line.

Child actors seldom move on to adult success because their charm at 16 does not carry over to a serious acting career. They are not professionally trained although these youngsters deserve the benefit of the doubt.

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.

Apart from the Hollywood world, which warms and warms up stereotype LGBTQ characters like Call Me By Your Name and brings them before us, more grounded scenarios from non-English speaking countries (especially Spanish speaking) are not at the box office, but are met by the audience at festivals and in the subsequent sales process.

A escondidas, Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho, Ete 85 and Close and Berdreymi, which are currently shown in cinemas and fertile, are some good examples of this.

Born in 1980, director Mariano Biasin (except for his previous short films and assistant directorships) is his directorial debut, Sublime, and is a very good Coming-Of-Age story.

Still circulating at festivals, Sublime is one of the productions you should add to your Watchlist this year.
