dreamy without tension

Sangaile is a 17 year old girl in love with acrobatic planes but is afraid of heights. She is lonely and cuts herself. She befriends Auste who lives nearby. Auste photographs Sangaile in her fashion designs and the two begin a summer romance. Auste helps Sangaile gain confidence to take flight.The photography is dreamy. The girls are waif-like. The plot is thin. The drama is limited. The intensity is low. This Lithuanian indie provides another entry into the lesbian teen genre. The plane flying and vertigo could have been interesting but the movie fails to give it the visual effect. The teen girl angst is done as expected but nothing more. This is barely a pass.

Good Film

One beautiful story narrated with several stand still moments but not in excess. The photography of the film and the landscapes used are simple and a the same time extraordinary. Julija Steponaityte can show us the feelings inside of a troubled young woman, without too much words. Her expressions make us understand what the character is felling and the troubles that goes on her life. Aiste Dirziute plays a much different character but also very emotional and also has the capacity to make one simpatize with her character. This film is a story where a fight for love of one character colides with a lack of willing to live of the other, but the two are important to outcome of the plot. Extraordinary direction and photography of Alante Kavaite, capturing the moments without staying to long in them but also without staying little time in them. Must see

Good movie

Beautiful cinematography, beautiful colours and lighting, very pleasing to watch. I also really enjoyed the work with sound, enhanced at exactly the right moments, appreciated the great attention to details and small things -this is also where the sound editing comes in perfectly. Each shot was well-considered. However, the story line isn't very interesting and you can hardly see any character development, the dialogue mostly feels fake and uncomfortable. The main character seems to be reacting to things that the viewer hasn't been introduced to or at least hasn't been motivated enough to feel sympathy for, so the character's actions really annoyed me at times. Overall I really enjoyed the movie, but I would have wanted some more plot development.
