friends

[Kirpianuscus · 16 May 2023]

A story of friendship who has the occasion of transformation in more. Realistic idea, good intentions, good acting but , in final, onlz a sketch.

Obvious, not a bad one but the reserves of Nico are reflection of the reserves of director who can not or know not to drive more energetic and nuanced the story.

The idea is far to be bad and it represents one of basic virtues of this film but the dialogue works in a circle round and the end , wise in some measure, seems little forced.

Zes, fear, surprise and presumed attraction.

But the main problem is the apparent absence of real roots of friendship between Nico and Kalid and too many details for propose a coherent story.

But, sure, more than good intentions.

Hopeless

Written by a woman, this was never going to capture the gayness of two guys. If indeed Nico was even gay. It seemed as if the openly gay Khalid was pushing him to succumb against his will. Nico didn't have a clue about gay life, didn't know what Brokeback is, spoke in clichés about who'd be "the man" if they did it.

There was no sexual tension between the two lads despite Khalid's insistence. I simply couldn't get into the game they were playing - the acting was fine but the dialogue and camerawork were shoddy.

The ending disappointed. This was another cliché.

A nice idea but poor execution ruined this film.
