A living breathing poem

PROS: The first thing that you need to mention with this movie is the acting. With a whole bunch of new faces you tend to assume the worst, and this was not the case here. This movie was filled with good actors, from small roles to big ones such as the main character Oscar played by Conner Jessup. Although this movie was not a horror, the strong message that the movie had was delivered in a horrific way. You really got to see the dark the scary side of being a gay kid in the closet. This was shown in a very poetic way as well. With every scene being a metaphor for something greater and all the metaphors added up to sending a strong message at the end. The final thing that I really appreciated was the transitions in the film. Each transition did more than go from one scene to the next, the transitions acted sort of like chapters in the main characters life. This gave the movie that lit bit of an extra touch.CONS: For me the few cons are greatly overshadowed by the film as a whole, but it doesn't mean they aren't there. The first problem I had was the one scene with the nuts and bolts. I won't give anything away, but this seen, although very deep and spine chilling, was very confusing. It was very brief and held no further context to the film. The other thing that bothered me was the ending. I completely understand that the ending needed to be simple to cope with the intense climax, but there is a difference between simple and boring. This movie forgot that.www.chorror.com

Highly overrated movie about a boring subject.

Another highly overrated movie about a kid coming out of the closet. It's all been done before and better. The whole story is boring from beginning till the end. I don't know who rates this kind of movies with such a high score. It's a mystery to me. I have absolutely nothing against gays, I couldn't care less. The acting wasn't bad, the story was. Being gay in these modern times is something nobody cares about so making another movie about this is just boring to watch. I'm curious when somebody is going to have the bad idea of making a movie about non binary people, the new modern freaks that is. I can't wait to not watch that movie to be honest, like I should have done with this one.
