CGiii Comment

A low-key, deadpan affair...a moody, expressionless teen - with annoying hair - writes poetry about the darkness and his loneliness!!!

Yes, this is laugh-a-minute stuff!

Unrequited gay love is never a joyful walk in the park...for one, it's one-sided...and, two, when that gay love is declared unrequited, the film is over. There is no will he, won't he...here, it is fairly obvious - from the beginning - that he won't...and, the spontaneous kiss...who actually does that?!?

It's not terrible, it's just too long...cluttered with useless sub-plots...it would have made a far better short.
