"Young Hearts Run Free!" This might be one of the most naturalistic and
heartwarming queer love story i have seen between two young boys. Nothing in this movie feels forced or imposed or influenced, the characters despite being in their 13-14 age, they seem much more matured and nuanced. These two young actors really deserve great credit here, what they have done is rarely seen and that too in such a sweet and simple way. The movie does try to tackle bullying, gay stereotypes but it never really dwells into those issues, I feel the makers wanted to show the feeling of that first young unadulterated love that you feel. And it's pretty much successful in showing that. There are some scenes which are deep and thoughtful, which makes this movie much more than a kids movie. It's made with heart in the right place and with pure emotions, and you feel that throughout the movie. Just watch it for the brilliant performances of these two young boys, they just killed it.
