Reviews for Get Real
Although the picture's glossy finish and relentlessly upbeat music defuse much of the effect of the bittersweet story, the unquestionably strong performance by Ben Silverstone rises above the film's limitations.
Captivating performances and a well-honed, economical script that understands the power of images makes this potentially mawkish sexuality coming of age film both entertaining and insightful.
