While some may say this is really not a gay movie, and while I am of the opinion this is not BL as we now know it, this movie is for me the best gay movie, the best coming of age story and one of the best movies I have ever watched.

It is a layered family drama, at the center of which is the love story of two young teenagers. The movie was controversial in Thailand because the two teenagers happen to be both boys ;) It is a sweet story, an almost fairy tale, but the ending is well, I won't spoiled it but it is still controversial to this date.

The movie is beautiful. The final scene always brings me to tears, not because it makes me sad, but because it makes me so happy for the characters and because it makes me realize how important love is in our lives.

I will end this review by saying, go watch if you haven't. You won't regret it, I promise.

BTW Viewers of this movie usually end up split into two categories after watching it: those who think it has a happy ending and those who think it does not. I am of the latter, as I think the ending is not perfect but it is happy for all involved.
