A good movie to watch on a Sunday. When I watch a gay film, I expect something special to happen, not always just repression and disastrous endings, and although the gay storyline isn't the central focus here, it's easy to understand what the protagonist is going through and empathize with her. Her relationship with the boy is relatively well-developed and also evokes empathy.
