  ★ 8/10

  I thought this was a pretty good movie, while not a happy ending, I think it told a solid story. I think it was also unique in that of the LGBT+ rainbow, both characters I feel, fell under the Questioning category, which was different from so many other movies were at least one of them is gay.
