    Not good but not that terrible

    The movie is not as terrible as people make it sound. The ending is terrible and it belongs to a "very special episode" from the 80s, but overall the movie is entertaining if you don't pay attention to how dumb adults seem to be and if you are prepared to moustache-twirling villains.

    I also need to give kudos to denny321 who manages to trash the movie while sharing some casual (internalized?) homophobia of his own describing "queenish" looks vs the "butch" main actor and also some racism while talking about Guatemala and Iran. Let's hope all of us in Central America get to be as enlightened as you are, especially on this forums.

    Admit and face the reality than to get the same treatment by avoiding them!

    Great cast, even the concept was nice, but a missed opportunity for sure. Bully, LGBT, there were lots of things the film highlighted, but did not choose the right path to ride on with. Everything was overshadowed by the negatives. When I was watching the film, I was very uncomfortable throughout. Because I have kept anticipating the best things to take over at any time, but that never came. Even the sport part was kind of incomplete. The film was a fiction, but even partially that's how things happen in Canada, then Canada is too far behind from all the western world.

    The film should have been an inspiring tale, or at least an awareness tale. It was a gay theme, though not a romance film. An eleventh grade Tim is avoiding his sexual identity to escape the embarrassment, particularly from the school bullies. But it's too late now, which cost him a big. As a response, he takes a challenge. And now he needs to prove his sexuality, but not everything goes as he had planned. The remaining story takes a crucial twist where everything comes to halt suddenly.

    Yeah, I think that sudden ending is not convincing. Especially after too many turns in the story development, I actually was expecting the best way to conclude. So not everybody would be happy with that part. Though it was not a bad idea, only they did not make it in a better way. The title too was a little diversion, from prediction. So don't expect, everything's going to be fine kind of film. More like I felt it is made for sadist mindset people. Because you can't encourage such film, particularly its contents which makes unease most of the time.

    1:54 - a drama about prejudice and discrimination in some schools

    My opinion---

    I saw this Canadian drama well directed by: "Yan England", this film falls into a category of already seen, with a scenario that can be said is really not original at all, that is to say The persecution in some schools of a pupil where several pupils by one or more other pupils with a sadistic or racist mentality and even very violent sowing terror on the student or pupils concerned suffer a real hell and their Life becomes dramatic. The cause is often due to either a physical aspect or a racist or sexist cause, in this case the suspicion of a student's homosexuality, and hence all the excesses (violence and abuse) Then a real journey of the combatant begins, often without many issues for this or these, hence the dramas. For this, the film tries to demonstrate the purpose of these cases of misfortune, the painful life that these students face in front of ruthless executioners. We must especially note the excellent performance of: Antoine-Olivier Pilon in the role of Tim. Conclusion, the film lets see without problem, is already good.

    a film about...

    ...life. everything. people. hate. sacrifice. many words define this film who is more a feeling but a story. sure, at first sigh, too many. but , after a time, you discover it as a sort of cry. or a mirror reflecting yours frustrations. it is an useful film. and one of interesting frescoes of contemporany society. that is all. a teenager. and his life. decisions. and a gesture as end of circle.nothing more.

    • Goofs
      The movie was filmed in the winter but there is no way the provincial track meets would be held at that time of the year because of the impact of the cold weather on performance results.
