Rainbow Lagoon (2022)

Imposible que no te saque al menos una sonrisa

Un romance simple, cuya consigna es simplemente transmitir un amor dulce, inocente y genuino, sin ninguna vuelta, lo que lo vuelve súper fácil de ver y disfrutable al mismo tiempo.
Un verdadero relajo, que pese a que se nota que no hubo un gran presupuesto, se puede ver el esfuerzo por entregar una historia simplemente bonita, esfuerzo que si dio sus frutos, aunque es innegable que con una mayor producción hubiera podido ser aún mejor.

Cuando termine de verlo, solamente pensé "qué hora más productiva" ya que es esas historias que no toman nada de tiempo pero que sin embargo te devuelven una sonrisa

A sweet slice of life

This is a really special 2-part short film that has a much more realistic feel to it than we're used to, yet remains in the BL genre.

Nobody is rich, the mother looks like a real person, and the setting is really beautiful without relying on the usual wealth and glamour - the director uses the natural setting to its best advantage.

The pacing is really good, managing friends to lovers in such a short span without feeling rushed or unnatural. The relationship is fluffy without being saccharine, and the chemistry between the two leads develops and feels real. The script is good, and a character's description of what it feels like to want someone is age appropriate and avoids the silly cliches like a kiss on the cheek is something shocking - these two want to touch each other, and the confused character is just the right amount of hesitant. Realistic dramatic tensions are not given overblown weight, and resolve in a natural way - it's refreshing.

The acting is superb - Mon has always been good, but Oak is really good in this and seems to improve with every project. And again, Mon performs the main theme.

I will certainly watch this again, and I'm looking forward to the next project.
