“I just saw this film in LA at Outfest and I loved it. This film is well directed, acted, and shot. The subject matter may be challenging for some but the relationships were very real and contemporary. Young people are more open-minded about sexual identity and its many challenges and the director presents the issue of homosexuality in a way that makes it seem so natural to the situation. Mr. Castle elicits some strong performances from his neophyte cast which reminded me of Coppolau0026#39;s work with his young actors in The Outsiders. I also thought the adults were integrated into the story in a very real way–these arenu0026#39;t absent parents but people in their kidsu0026#39; lives. The surfing camera work is stupendous. Donu0026#39;t miss!”
