Despite me giving a 8 out of 10, I didn't like the movie. I only gave it such a high grade because I don't see any flaws in it, its writing is rather good. Before we procceed I gotta say there's spoilers here.
The movie is sweet and moves along at a nice pace. I got to say that happens more in this movie than in most of gay-themed movies. It shows very nicely how society can be cruel and how love is beautiful and then people ruin it. It felt, to me, like a period piece, I mean the village or whatever in which the story happens seems so outdated, but it might be the portrayal of existing rural places I've never been to. But they don't even talk about being gay, they talk about "being like that" and other vague sentences. I thought specially interesting how Aron's character is written. I also thought it would make more sense for him to suicide after killing his lover, at least from my point of view. It is also stated the movie is based on a real story. If it is, then the ending could not be changed. In this case, throughout its extension, the film lacked a 'punch', it would be more effective if it was more emotional and not so clean. Maybe the real story is not so gruesome too, but still the movie seems soften the images, even if heavy on depth. Ending my so-called review, I'd like to see this move, and others, being more original. But I guess you can't ask much of a movie made outside a big movie industry, which I'll bet it is the case.
8/10
