"The truth is, I idolize him."
Welcome to Arkansas, where it's hot and you want to nap... a lot.
Emotionally accurate narration accompanies fanciful camera-work and the blissfully quaint lives of Luke and Jonah who have grown up together, developed a symbiotic and romantic relationship, and are facing a looming hurdle as Jonah prepares to leave for college and a seemingly more exciting existence than the dronings on of their rural Arkansas hometown.. but what of Luke?
Jonah idolizes Luke, while Luke claims Jonah is good at everything - expressing shared authentic admiration. Luke and Jonah battle their burgeoning feelings toward each other whilst coming to terms with Jonah's eventual departure.
The script, on its own, could barely fill a short essay yet adds a clash of diary- esque poetry to the film's reflective visuals.
The visuals mirror the complex emotions shared between the leading roles in an impressionist fashion. Picturesque views, extreme closeups, and an emphasis on capturing faint, easily missed yet charming moments of every day interaction are emphasized for effect.
Not your typical, abrasively expressive gay-themed film.. This is a still, whispering romance of a gentle kind. Deep stares, hand touching, shared nature walks, and napping embraces dominate screen time.
The film takes on a slow pace, yet remains on plot while oozing a simple yet heartfelt charm.
