Tu m'as tellement manqué

Really enjoyed this film, it was simple and uncomplicated, and showcased some of the real issues that face people in rural communities. Well done Tom Malloy. A special mention to Josh Green, whose expressions conveyed so much without dialog.

Sensitive coming of age story around a father and son coming to terms with the loss of a wife/mother while the son struggles to live true to himself in a bible-belt small town. The cast are all brilliant, it may be low-budget, but that doesn't matter, true artists bring their characters to life and this crew don't dissappoint. 5stars.

Very few low budget gay-themed films have both good acting and a good script. This film has both. As others have said, it would have been nice to see how the two guys made it in the city as well as the father after selling the farm. Maybe they could do a sequel or get cast and writers together for another movie on a different subject. Anyway, fantastic job by all involved,

Like the title says, this movie isn't perfect because there's a lot of "stuff" going on that can't all be tackled in 90 minutes. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that the film needed to be longer.

Viewer may be left asking for some more backstory on a couple of things, and one of the most critical plot-lines of the movie isn't really referenced or confronted very much outside of flashbacks. I understand that may have been intentional, however I don't think it was successful.

With that said, the positive outweighs the negatives big time with this film. It really is a genuine love story with great chemistry between Michael Grant, who plays James; and Josh Green, who plays Charlie. There are moments in the film that captivate you a bit, because of how genuinely you can tell that one cares for the other despite rough times.

The personal struggles of the father are also well-acted, with a number of subtleties that come through really well for a middle-aged, depressed man dealing with the crumbling of everything he knows.

This movie is one of those gay coming-of-age films that really will warm your heart because of the acting. Definitely worth your time.

The story is very engaging and very believable. The two leads are fantastic, and I hope they will appear in a lot more films!
