This is one of those movies that should be required viewing for everyone. Set on a North Kent housing estate, the plot of two teenagers falling in love is nothing unusual, apart from the fact that it's two boys. The subject is handled with great sensitivity. We get the impression that Ste's family would not approve, but they do not seem to approve of him anyway. Sandra defends Jamie, and for that matter Ste, all the way. The injured drag queen in the Gloucester adds an interesting twist of realism.
The only thing that would have improved this film for me would have been for one of the boys to have a physical disability, preferably not through injury, as this would added focus to this difficult subject. In any case, the film scores top marks with me.
