Harry has been partying for 48 hours when he meets Johannes on the dance floor of a club in Berlin. With 15 hours until his flight home, Johannes offers to help him print his boarding pass. This mundane task leads to a day together wandering the city. The contrasts in their lives and values force each one to confront their own truths. Boy Meets Boy is a feature length mumblecore about the journey of a brief encounter: the mark left by a fleeting moment of joy.

For such an intimate two-hander, the leads also have little chemistry. The script may be at fault here, but the cinematography and editing don't help.

"Boy Meets Boy" is light on action and long on talk, and that's fine since the dialogue is interesting and sometimes provocative.

[Daniel Sánchez López's film] is a great debut, despite the awkwardness of some camera movements. [Full review in Spanish]

It is by turns celebratory and sweetly melancholic, but always a pleasure to watch.

If the plot feels thin, the attractive actors and sparky subtext make this worth a look.

Terribly slow. Two wasted gay guys spending the day together. While they seem to enjoy each others company, you don't feel any connection. One is trapped in a bad relationship. The other is hooked on Grindr and can't meet the same person twice. Sad that it paints this as acceptable in gay lifestyles.

Badly written junk film. Someone must have lost a bet.

I watched this movie because I thought it's based on the novel "Boy Meets Boy" by David Levithan. But it's not. Though, I am not sad or anything. It's still a very great watch. If you need a light romance, this is definitely the one.
