Beautiful work.
martinmmegan17 August 2021
High quality production & just a really beautiful piece all around. Gripping yet digestible storytelling, aesthetically pleasing - think feel good romantic warm fuzzys but with artistic edge. I didn't want it to end. 10/10.

hypnotically intimate...

Such a thoughtful, intimate peek into the transformative power of young love, self-love, and acceptance. Beautifully shot and narrated with enough artistic vision to drift you away but balanced enough to feel authentic and grounded in its direction. GREAT WORK!!

Poignant and vivid

Warning: Spoilers
Visually sublime! I love the first part as a dream sequence with the music and then when it's switched to reality how the music changes and the mood drastically dips but still optimistic as he's trying to be the man he wants to be yet the longing is acute and painful when you realize the first part is a fantasy!!

The editing and directing is suburb! The styling is another level - makes a laundromat sublime. And filming on transport gives film movement and urgency. Such depth accomplished in 6 minutes. Give this guy a feature film!!!

Romantic yet powerful
clarknag22 August 2021
It's so encouraging to watch this sweet, hopeful story during this time of loneliness and isolation. This film seems to answer the question, "What do we do alone while we wait to be fully together again?" The visual contrast of the vivid colors of the costumes and the beauty of the actors with the simplicity and muted colors of the settings creates a mood of uncertainty and dreaminess.

The film is beautifully crafted as well - details of costuming, make-up and setting call out to be seen and examined.

A pleasure to watch and rewatch.
