Teenage angst and homophobia take a serious, but less dramatic turn than many movies of this genre. Franky Winter (Josh Wiggins) and Ballas Kohl (Darren Mann) are best friends until a late-night incident changes their relationship and more.Teenage angst and homophobia take a serious, but less dramatic turn than many movies of this genre. Franky Winter (Josh Wiggins) and Ballas Kohl (Darren Mann) are best friends until a late-night incident changes their relationship and more. This is not a coming out story, but an examination of how lies and doubts can ruin lives. The characters have interesting angles, the performances are involving and director Keith Behrman has crafted a compelling story. The subject matter isn't new, but the way it's explored offers an interesting and mature take on the subject.… Expand

For the first third of the movie Ballas is presented as a main character, but we never get to know him or his motivations. They are only clarified by his sister, who suddenly becomes an important character mid-way through the movie. It's as if the creators of the movie decided to replace Ballas with her, and then they do a fast track job through exposition for us to understand her. The movie then has no real conclusion, and I still don't know anything about many of the characters and most importantly Ballas, who I know next to nothing still, making the movie a fractured mess. It feels like half student film and half feature film. Could've have been much better. Good acting from the main characters at least.… Expand

It's the story of two friends Franky and Ballas. The night after celebrating Frankys 16th birthday something happens that leads to Ballas fleeing from the house. The situation is unclear and when Franky returns to school Ballas has told everyone that Franky sexually assaulted him. Franky is confused but deals with the situation by retreating into himself. As the film goes along secrets come to light and Franky begins to come of age. It's a truly unique story and I don't want to ruin anything by saying too much. But the film stood long with me after the credits rolled. It's such a genuine, heartfelt exploration of youth and a discovery of where someone stands in the world. It's truly a groundbreaking film that deserves to be seen.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't fully pay attention to this film, I feel, as I couldn't help but wonder what I missed. Something happens between two characters which is the pivotal moment in the film but yet I feel like I didn't see it. I thought this was a pretty hum drum, run of the mill type high school/coming of age film, which didn't really appeal to me frankly. It got good average rates on IMDB but it didn't really interest me. I suppose people of high school age may enjoy it more than I did. It did seem reasonably well made but it didn't work for me as such. I wouldn't recommend it, no.… Expand

It doesn't leave a lot of impact while watching it, but it's writing is something to note here. May the ideas of its script help inspire future films to tackle the difficult subject of open liberated love.
