Real funny. I watch this show whenever I'm stressed. Usually I always pause to see how much time is left for shows but this one just flies by.

⚠️NO SPOILER REVIEW⚠️ I can't begin to explain how good this film is. One of the many words to describe it, but the one I think should be the most enphasized, is astonishing. Going into this film I expected something very wholesome given it's about the close friendship of two young boys, I didn't expect the tragedy to hit what felt like early in the film. I wondered what they would talk about for an hour after it happened but I think it was well done because you can see how Léo is carrying the guilt but couldn't tell anybody. Even I was wondering why he was being so silent but then it made sense. I also liked how in the end you can see Léo finally at his breaking point where he kinda couldn't hold it in anymore and he really allowed himself to feel and let the people around him know what he was feeling. I cried so much during this film, not even during the sad moments but even during the wholesome ones. The acting is incredible and it is such a comforting movie because it feels realistic. The school scenes surprised me because it reminded me a lot of my childhood how realistic it was. I definitely recommend this film but beware that you will need tissues. I think about this film a lot because it reminds me of that one line from call me by your name "is it better to speak or to die".

This movie was so realistic, it's scary. It talks about this girl in eighth grade who doesn't have any friends and everybody thinks is quiet when in reality she's funny and talkative. This movie really reflects reality because I think a lot of us have gone through something like this especially during middle school where people's insecurities arise and push them onto people. If you're having a hard time with thinking people don't know who you are and have this sanitized version of you at school, watch this film. It definitely helped me when I was in 8th grade going through the exact same thing as this girl (except I never got friends/older friends during the year). It gives you hope and I really like how at the end of the film she kinda gives an incouraging "speech" to all that think there is no hope to get friends etc. That part made me cry because it felt like she was talking to me.
