this was just brillant. I love how dreadfully awkward the boys were, how uncomfortable the conversation got with the parents, and how fake, yet somehow so real everything seemed. The age of the actors, in my opinion, just made it all the better and comically awkward. In so many films everything seems so easy, like you just know exactly what to do when you start questioning everything. Your film made me laugh, smirk, and feel dreadfully sorry for poor William. Great work!!

The boys are adorable and fine acting, too. What I find most remarkable is the absurdity and pretentiousness of the adults and the honesty and authenticity of the boys. I hope I am always young at heart. I never want to grow up to be like the adults in this fine film.

What a great little film! The adults were partly believable and partly absurd, which was fun. The boys were endearing to me; I loved how William was so nervous and nearly hyperventilated when kissing Virgo. The echo of Virgo's "This is so cool" when kissing, by William's "This is so cool" when being fellated, was delightful and rather actually sweet. I laughed out loud at, "I'm not gay... give me your number!" And I cringed when William's father walked in on them. I really entered into this whole scenario, and found it very satisfying. Many thanks! :)

@rogerhall6450 2 жыл бұрын

Funny short film! I find it a bit strange that viewers criticize it for lack of realism, when realism seemed obviously not the primary goal. The adults were having a comedy of manners, sort of, while the adolescent boys were having a comedy of awkwardness & hormones. Besides, the truth underpinning the scenes was never lost sight of. Both upstairs & down the people were mildly caricatured. Like the way the adults glossed over their theological differences and how William couldn't have video games or watch TV but had Morse code! Virgo's mom: "This was lovely." William: "I'm not gay! Give me your number!" Our sought-for reaction: "Yeah right" with an understanding smile. How human!

that was one of the most true to life short films I think I've seen in a long time. cute awkwardness, still being afraid of who you are and coming out to yourself... which to me coming out to yourself is often harder then coming out to the person you most afraid to come out to I.E. parent, friends, whoever. I can see his family taking a little more time to deal with it but it's clear to me his mother loves him his dad may need more time but it is just fear and when his father can let go of the fear he can deal with who his son is. and his d and d should be happy too his first probable boyfriend would be of the Jewish faith lol

@kyrio5a 6 жыл бұрын

OMFG I swear I love it! Believable characters and cast. Adorable connection between the lads. And ending open to a few directions. How will the orthodox dad deal with William? How will the lads go on? What will Virgo's parents say if they know, given their more liberal and open-minded version of Judaism? Totally deserves all those awards!

I think it's funny that the dad wants his boy to stay kosher and well it can since well both boys are jewish haha

It wasn't exactly a comedy, but as a little film about two awkward teenagers just finding out about their sexuality and one of them deciding he'll try the gay option and decides it's for him, it was really well done, with some great lines.

The actor playing William reminds me of Morty from the “Rick & Morty” TV series. Not just the same voice, but also the same manner of speaking, inflection, hesitation, etc. Also the looks and the haircut are pretty much the same too.

@TheHotnessIsHere 8 жыл бұрын

I like that it was a lot more believable, at least to me, than a lot of other "coming of age" films. In so many coming out films, you have the boy whose dad flips out. William's dad genuinely surprised me at the end, in a very good way.
