In his interesting take on adolescent sexual awakening.User review:This movie isn’t at all what I expected. I watched it because I wanted to see Michael Miu back in action after his long hiatus, so I rented every movie he’s in since he came back on the silver screen. During this movie I just couldn’t wait for his every scene. His character could have been developed so much better. He’s so amazing that he should have had a bigger part. I can understand what the kids are going through, but still, some scenes could have been told in a shorter manner. There seems to be a long part in the middle where the story seems to be going nowhere. I did enjoy the movie though. It’s essentially centered around two kids and I like the way the filmmaker captured the vibe of where the kids grow up. It’s got the warmth of Asian film-making, which I enjoy tremendously.
