An average coming-of-age tale elevated by the wholesome twist of a pesky mother interfering during her son's discovery of his homosexuality. Full Review |

Young star Kevin Bishop plays the confused Paul with enough soul to sustain a movie that sometimes comes on like an ersatz training manual for parents of gay kids. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
This is mild-mannered, been-there material given a pedestrian spin by a director who needed a touch of the flamboyant, the outrageous. Full Review |

A sincere but dramatically conflicted gay coming-of-age tale. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
Despite Juliet Stevenon's attempt to bring cohesion to Pamela's emotional roller coaster life, it is not enough to give the film the substance it so desperately needs. Full Review |

The performances and tight direction from Ventura Pons keep the film from descending into cheap melodrama. Full Review |

|
|
The principals in this cast are all fine, but Bishop and Stevenson are standouts. Full Review |
||
|
|

|
|
Plays like a glossy melodrama that occasionally verges on camp. Full Review |

1/4 |
How can such a cold movie claim to express warmth and longing? In truth, it has all the heart of a porno flick (but none of the sheer lust). Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
It's the extra layer that makes this one, the movie's understanding of how disillusion and inner compromise can gradually separate a young artist from his divine spark. Full Review |

I suspect that there are more interesting ways of dealing with the subject. Full Review |

One of those so-so films that could have been much better. Full Review |
