Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

colony_d_85 This is one of the best films I have ever seen and my favorite LGBT one. I watched this movie while surfing Netflix and fell in love with it quickly. I woke up the next morning with memories of the film on my mind. I watched it again the next night. I have not had a movie move me so powerfully before watching Jongens. It left a strange combination of melancholy and beauty with me. I thought of it often throughout the day. Why? Everything about the film works. The cinematography is exceptional. The filming locations were great choices and all of the scenes have a certain pristine feel, echoing the feeling of young love between the characters. The actors deliver heartfelt performances, creating a very genuine feel to the film. The subtlest expressions on their faces show what the characters are feeling. The story line is also very good - Sieger grapples with his sexuality and you can see him trying to accept himself for who he is. In addition, he is stuck in situations socially and at home. The cherry on top is the soundtrack. The audio is mesmerizing and adds to the overall feeling of the film. To conclude, Jongens is a beautifully crafted, incredible, haunting tale of love. This is a must-watch for everyone.

lmull198 Hi Guys, please try and see "Jongens" / Boys, one of the best "coming out" films ever, please do not be put off by the subtitles! The direction, acting and music are superb, enjoy every minute and be happy.. The story is simple, but the two lead actors are amazing, cannot believe I have not seen them in previous films, they have such great futures ahead of them!!! What a relieve to see that it is not just another "sub-par, sordid, waiting for the ever elusive sex scene to arrive" movie This movie makes u forget all that nonsense, you are drawn in from the first second, and it never lets go, only complaint is the short running time, at 80 minutes only you will be crying for some more I can go on and on, but watching the scene 30 minutes into the film makes life worth living...

ekeby At this writing the previous reviews save one all heap praise on this sweet little movie. The lone dissenter hated it.I understand both points of view. It's well done, nicely framed, and tells a story that flows quite naturally. It is subtle, and it shows us what's happening rather than tells us, which is what a good movie needs to do. On the other hand, we have seen this story and virtually every plot device it uses in countless other gay films from the last 30 years.More than one review here compares Boys to Beautiful Thing. No, sorry. Not even close. Beautiful Thing is unflinching in its hard boiled, sardonic view of teen age angst. This movie should only be compared to Beautiful Thing by calling it Beautiful Thing Ultra Lite.Now, that's not a bad thing, necessarily. And, evidently, for a lot of people, Ultra Lite is enough. I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because I did; it's very watchable. But if you go into this expecting a masterpiece, well, you may not find it. Especially if you've seen a lot of gay-themed movies that are really good.

leftbanker I agree with all the previous reviewers. This film is not spectacular or raw or groundbreaking, it is simply real and wonderful. In it's brief span it touches on the family dynamics of loss and love - two boys dealing in different ways with the death of their mother. A father trying to guide his sons while coping with his own loss. The surprise of first love and the devastating fear that forces you to deny it. The film is filled with magical but truthful moments, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes both at once. A glance that goes straight to the heart. A gaze into the mirror (too true to ever be trite). A moment when a friend knows how to be a friend. "Marc and you, you make a good team . . . really good." The moment I lost it - at the end when the "family" is eating takeout on the patio and Sieg goes to the empty kitchen to make his peace and his decision. Bravo to an extraordinary cast, crew and filmmaker - and thanks.
