Filmmaker Gay nimbly navigates the raging waters of burgeoning sexuality.
For a movie that has been praised for its sensitive realism, Nico and Dani takes some large liberties.
Could be useful to a confused teenager, suggesting that we all have to choose our own paths in life.
Manages to be both joyful and unnerving in its unflinching portrayal of emerging sexuality.
Although films about adolescents stumbling urgently toward sexual self-identity are plentiful, most are put to shame by the delicacy, poignancy, and honesty of Nico and Dani.
The film seems unfocused at times, but on reflection, stands out as an unusually sensitive and honest view of teen sexuality, straight or gay.
... the film goes a long way toward dispelling myths of innocence and purity, while showing that teen-agers can sometimes be wise enough to figure out some of life's most important lessons for themselves.
Rare handling of an emotional and important theme.
...sexual scenes are all composed tastefully, and larger themes of sexuality and how it affects friendship override individual scenes
A highly enjoyable, extremely sensual coming of age film
You can only like these guys, and sympathize with their stumbling into adult life.
It makes up for much of its shortcomings with its sensitive consideration of sexuality, adoration, friendship, and late adolescence.
An interesting "coming of age" story. Does I good job of showing the struggles of coming to terms with your sexuality. The struggle between exploring your true feelings and coming to terms with your feelings based on that exploration and simply doing what "society" expects of you to spite what you amy or may not be feeling. And more importantly it shows just how ridiculous it is to think that you have it all figured out based on one or two (early) experiences in life and how important it is to be open and honest with yourself and those who are close to you about what feels right for you. Sadly, the film ends on a rather flat and incomplete note - but for the most part it was rather touching. (No pun intended!)
