There's a naturalness to the entire cast, yet there is considerable depth to the portrayals, and the interplay between the characters is exceptionally rich and nuanced.

A well-done version of an old tale - they manage to make it interesting and Julien Baumgartner makes it feel like his personal story.

Genuinely engaging performances from Baumgartner and Maravalidealized are kind of wasted in this idealized and dramatically weightless coming(-out)-of-age story...

The story's celebration of honesty is commendable, even if the treatment of homophobia is no deeper than the hero's swimming pool.
