It is a film of a life that many teenagers could identify with. The protagonist tries to cope with the death of his best friend, while exploring his sexuality. It's an entertaining film and I think both adults and teens could find it emotional. The performances are believable and there are many nods to life in Argentina in 2005. I guess that's why some foreigners may not find it nostalgic.
In relation to character development, it almost doesn't exist, but I understand why it doesn't exist. The protagonist himself says that he feels he learned nothing, the viewer feels the same. That everything that is happening is stagnant, I am glad that this aspect does not make the film boring. Like any human being, he has his mistakes and his characteristics that make us empathize with him.
It seems to me that at the end there is too much importance given to the sadness of the parents when in the film there was no bonding that makes us feel empathy to then cause pity. It would have been better to focus on the sadness of his friends.
There's the cliché of teenagers partying, having sex and getting high. It's partly okay, but this movie could have been something more than that.
The problem I find is the feeling that although the goal is to prevent suicide, when watching the film we feel that what the character did was not wrong. Anyway, the film doesn't need to be a psychologist, but since it is explicitly produced for teenagers, I think the message is demotivating.
In general it is fine. I don't regret watching it at all.
