Beautiful acting. Superb plot with an interesting reversal at the end. Engrossing and immersive. Excellent film, very enjoyable story well told. Great performance from J Scanlon. Excellent. Very interesting. subtle and moving. Unusual and absorbing film. Excellent. Loved the plot, the pace and the cinematography. Sad but powerful portrayal of love, forgiveness,understanding and kindness after betrayal. The only winner was the truth. An enjoyable film. Unusual and it had a kind of gentleness. What tangled webs we weave. Just about overrode a rather dodgy premise. Very interesting but not too convincing. Would real teenagers behave like that? Very interesting and poignant story full of pathos ad even hope. Slow getting there. Shared pain. Good acting from Solomon. A sad but touching story
