still cliché...
There is the boy who likes the other boy and still says "He's not that way". That cliché is sooooo old and is just annoying. The bullying consists in a passive way, shunning the other boy. The end scene does not really tell us if they get togehter or not at least the boy which is not that way seems to be that way.So I don't like the premise much, the acting is a bit over medicore but for a coming of age story the actors are too old imho. Cinematography is nice, music is good but it lacks depth. Even for a short film there was not much substance.
Overall it's not bad but also not good. Even in 2020 we should expect better writing, more emotions and someone who stands up against bullying especially in a gay context. This is just medicore.

realistic coming of age story
Overall: this is a coming of age story with two high schoolers, 40 minutes on GagaOOLala and Vimeo.What I Liked
- gentle slice of life feel
- realistic, they look like highschoolers instead of photoshopped models
- symbolism of the seesaw and the two plants
Room For Improvement
- wish the ending was a bit less open/more explicit/what was in the box?
- what exactly was said at school, I think I know but I'm not sure what happened there
- the Vimeo subs are ghost subs, small and white font/difficult to read
