Featured reviews
Outstanding performances particularly from Phenix Brossard as Noah. The second feature film I've seen him in, incredible actor. Everyone does a great job here to be fair though. A nice mix of drama, romance and comedy with some really great comedy scenes in it that are very true to life like the scene about performance art! I'm very surprised that no one seems to have heard of this film. Highly recommend! Solid 8/10
Nothing predictable here. Really enjoyed this quirky and unusual Rom-Com. Nearly every major character is "weird" in their own special way. Everything flows smoothly and lead actor does a BRILLIANT job.
I found the two pivotal scenes PURE GENIUS: 1.) Bathtub scene and 2.) closing scene. Showing that once you shut up and get out of your own head; you can break through and truly LIVE!!

I thought it was really beautiful, it wasn't perfect (what film is) but I really felt so many emotions from this. I think it's very hard to portray vulnerability and intimacy well, I thought this film and it's actors did a great job.

Such a beautiful film. Colin Morgan captures exactly what it is to be human in an extremely vulnerable way.
Took me a while to get into this but have to say I really enjoyed it. It felt quite raw to watch - here you have an actor acting as an actor depicting his struggle to love, be comfortable with himself to let others in. It's a struggle not often spoken about among gay men and albeit a diversion from a lot other gay movies out there, I think this depicted the matter really well and shone a light on an - in my opinion - untouched topic.
It's also a funny film, cringe in some areas where I found myself saying out loud "ohhh nooo" but I think that added to the charm and cuteness of the film. Definitely worth the watch!
