A lovely watch, does not disappoint in most aspects, but does so in some. The plot was simple, clever and quite realistic for most parts, but at times was filled with melodrama and fantasy. The build up and first half of the film was enjoyable, fluid and suitably paced. The second half, however, was too fast-paced, at times unnecessarily rushed and the ending was sort of an cliché, creating an anti-climax(which, weirdly enough, does represent how real life works at times). The cleverness and thoughtful nature of the movie gets marred by some stupidity and poor plot execution at certain times, especially at the end.
The characters were well developed, relatable and coming-of-age, which was a treat to watch. Acting was, unfortunately, mediocre, rather amateurish at various points. The concept of the typical action sequences was not really included in the film, which was indeed an welcome change. Also, there was no real music/songs that requires mention. Humour was subtle and scarce, but quite effective. The romantic subplot was also well executed, realistic and relatable.
Overall, Goyenda Junior was an interesting, fresh idea, which is worth a watch. However, at times, the film will fail to impress you and give a sense of "incompleteness".
