The 2nd review was spot on. I wanted to like this one much like other Breaking Glass movies, but this was just frenetic and disjointed.
The characters were at one second yelling and the next second, literally, calm and normal. The parents didn't make any sense, their emotions are upside down when it comes to their own children.
The bully is so obviously what he's accusing the victims of? His 'gf' ... knows? The pacing is uneven, the emotions are opposite of what they should be, and the writing just seems like they wrote a script from a brainstorming session on what gay kids experience.
The whole movie is just unbelievable and truly over the top in the bad way. Just cringe-y all around.

I admitt, I like it. For themes, from bulying to pressure of parents and homophobia , from hidden attraction for other under skin of humiliation of him, for try of actors, for compassion for too young Emma Catalfamo.
Maybe, the presence of white rabbit , from drawings to target is the main motif for appreciate him.
So, in large terms, a decent film ( more with value of sketch ).
The only problem for me remains the final of film. Maybe , I am not so good Christian ( in fact, obvious I am not ) for accept the generosity of Peter or imagine the reconciliation spirit from bully or noble spirit of his girl friend. The suicide of the beloved remains too traumatic event to cover it so easy.
But, sure, one opinion. Against critics , many just fair, I see it as a reasonable gay film , fair exploration of sensitive themes.

The ending spoke a trillion words all at once. This movie did something Ive never seen done before but you have to pay attention and see the characters for thier obviosities not "over the top" comparison. This movie hit home. It rang of realism. Build to climax.
I got fifteen minutes in and gave up. I don't think I have ever seen such dreadful and unconvincing acting. Do these people actually have membership of the acting union? If so, they should hand their cards back in right now. There wasn't a single character in the first fifteen minutes whose actor portraying him or her was realistic at all.
It's a nasty, spiteful film full of unpleasant characters. Even the gay people shown were not particularly sympathetic. Either bullies, whiny, closeted, they did not make a satisfying backdrop to the film at all.
Please don't waste your money on this cheapo production.

The unusual love story always hits a little different if you've experienced it at least once in your life. There were certain parts of this film that made me think of that special someone which made this film that much better. Overall, the Director did a really good job with the vision with an addition of a good cast and solid editing I would give it an eight on the originality mean in a 10 for making a tap in to the feels. This is one of those movies that I would definitely recommend on a date night or one of those nights where you just eat in a tub ice cream alone in the living room, the Director and crew did an amazing job with this final product.
