this film touch the rather trivial ( it the year 2004 ) theme of come out and achieve through a fine tune of it element represent plot and dialog and character and message and event storied etc . to offer an exceptional and unique view of it . from the begin it be not to compare with beautiful thing because it address somewhat old character and it humor and dialog be less general and more mature . it serve a rather specific goal and end which lack from the rather simple realistic story telling of edge of seventeen . it do not transmit as much a exaggeration and irony which would put it aside the reality like but i be a cheerleader . however and it reserve some purity by not get into the charm british gay bourgeoisie like like it be . it do not suffer of french lyricism like presque rien . the fluctuation of the feeling and event be more breezy than in it in the water . finally and the plot be more self compose than in a cause dun garcon and it be not mean to be see by clueless straight public like in and out . a shortcoming may be consider the lack of happily ever after . end and the somewhat too aggressive and for the spectator and plot development and the discreet appearance of several trivia and the lack of mouth wide open laugh humor .
