I very nearly scored this film a four as it was really authentic in the way it presents teenage sexuality and the fluid and curious way in which it unfolds. I certainly found myself nodding on a few occasions as if to say ‘yep, been there and felt like that’.
The film has a great set of characters, all with their own tale to tell and who add depth to a well rounded movie that I’m sure many people will relate to.
I’ve seen many coming-of-age films and even though I’ve seen a number that are better than this; this is by no means a film to overlook. Give it a watch!
Best movie we have seen so far this year. A much better approach- and for more authentic one-to teenage sexuality. As well as having a ' message' this movie was also highly entertaining. It didn't flag- and we were interested to see how the plot developed out over the whole 90 minutes. It reminded me of that song ' Love the One You're With' - because that's the message of the film. Sex is basically irrelevant- its the person you're with that really counts. So relevant today- and a message that is rarely conveyed on film . Its a movie that doesn't categorise- as the vast majority do.
We had to turn the subtitles on to get the dialogue.
And the relevance of the title? Anyone else worked it out?
I think it means Little White Lies- there are little ones- and there are giant ones- but very rarely-sometimes the ' little' ones are GIANT in their true implication.
