Heartfelt Story of Young Love
26 May 2023
There are few movies that have the emotional depth of this one. The movie explores the constraints of being a member of the Jehovah's Witness religion, but avoids demonizing it. Instead we see layers of emotions, and the internal conflict of wanting to adhere to what the religion requires, while grappling with either being gay or having a family member who is gay. The movie could have been written in the context of any orthodox or conservative religious community. The movie also has many tender moments between the two teenage protagonists, and the actors have sizzling chemistry together. Visually, the cinematography is gorgeous, with scenes of the beach, sunrises, and sunsets. All of the actors were top-notch.
