    I'm glad to got to see the film. It was emotionally heavy but very beautiful. I hope many people see it, and I hope our society can reflect on the themes it explores.

    I don't think Dustav DeWaele (Remi) gets the credit he deserves. He was only in the film for about half and hour. Don't want to give the film away but he had a scene that I'll never forget, I don't know what he was drawing on to do the scene but he's an amazing actor!

      i agree with you! everything i read about the film people mostly (or even only) talk about eden dambrine, which of course he deserves, but gustav did a perfect job himself.

      I totally agree. I know what scene you are talking about at the school grounds. But I also particularly love one other scene of his, at the breakfast table.

    It’s the world judgement made them change the perspective of how they see their closeness to each other. I was there when I was 16, my childhood best friend exchange me for his popularity and see me as treat for his growth. Saw myself in those two. The story made me realize how the words from other people can change someone’s perspective.

    This film moves me to tears many times. I had a relationship like that at the same age. Just that same powerful, innocent and beautiful closeness, that made people wonder about the nature of it, during the onset of adolescence. I yearn for those days when you weren't afraid to show your platonic mate affection without the scorn of judgement of others.
    The end of innocent childhood and the beginning of having to deal with things like toxic masculinity and homophobia.

    I just saw this film a few days ago. Was NOT what I thought it was going to be as I knew nothing about it's background. Beautifully written, acted by newcomers with virtually no rehearsal which brought out the natural personality of the boys. And so, so heartbreaking. Stunning portrayal of an intensely intimate friendship that most young men can relate to as teens, destroyed by labels that society never fails to inflict on innocence and purity that is so frustrating. I'm not prone to watching films that touch on the subject matter that this film implies. But after watching how the excruciating sadness unfolds in this film has changed my views regarding toxic masculinity, which I really didn't understand until now and softened my somewhat lifelong stance on what some would consider negative thoughts regarding male bonding and true friendship that I now know is real and can be just as devastating for anyone when that relationship falls apart, regardless of who they are. It was unbearable to watch the building grief and guilt young Leo endured throughout the last third of the film. Eden Dambrinne carried the weight of this entire film and deserves every accolade he can acquire. Both boys conveyed a very rare and unique ability to show genuine affection and devotion that I wished now that I could've experienced as a child. I had good friendships as a child but never anything like this, so pure and unburdened by how society thinks it should be. I'm convinced now, after never really caring that we place way too much criticism on male friendships that are obviously solid and carefree. So unnecessary when most relationships these days are so negative and dysfunctional. Doesn't matter if you're straight or gay (I'm straight) or anywhere in between. This is a must watch film that will change your attitude for the better. It changed me. The fact that absolutely no political or ideological agenda was shoved down the throats of the viewer, that the director stuck to simply telling the story of love and innocence and ultimate tragedy between two young friends was extremely refreshing. Every scene was tightly controlled with no unnecessary dialog or explanation whatsoever which did help you connect with the theme of the film and the characters. It did leave some unanswered questions. But maybe that was deliberate in the sense that it was left to the viewer to interpret what they were seeing. But regardless, anyone finding any fault with this wonderful depiction of childhood loss and grief just has no clue of how life works. Kudos to Lukas Dhont for a rare film that I'm sure alot of people can relate to.
