9/10
I wish I had a friend like Niko growing up!

I wish I had seen this a few years ago when I was going through something similar. This movie reminded me of what it felt like before all the pieces clicked together. Though Nico, the best friend, is a bit naive, it's still a great movie about friendship and on how tough it is growing up and realizing that you're gay. I almost didn't bare to watch at times, because the scenarios were so authentic. Especially the scene of the morning after and at the house of the older man just took me back in time. I really felt sorry for Dani, because he was too young and dumb in the way that even though he knew it could never happen, he still tried to pursue it. The acting is superb in my view, the boys really nail it. I only wish that I had had a friend more like Niko when I was growing up!
