GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

earthinspace-1 ...partial spoiler about general themes.You've heard this film is about a gay boy named Pim. That label is cargo in our societal theories of life. Pim's only about 14, and he might still be a father and family man some day. I choose not to take sides on theories of sexuality here, and to blur my eyes when considering the moral vision of this film. No nudity in the film, by the way. The story's about a neglected boy whose first feelings are that he's attracted to a boy. When the boy, to whom Pim's attracted, overtly returns the attraction -- literally seduces Pim -- all Pim gets from it is a roll in the sack. The other boy's not seeing Pim as a permanent friend. Young persons are inexperienced and cannot be expected to see all that's coming from their experiences. We adults realize we do not know what's going on, and maybe we forget how much more painful it can be, or was, when we were that age. Lots of moments of uncertainty and awkwardness are woven together into a decent film. Clearly, the loneliness is not ended by a few episodes of sexual gratification. So that moral tone does not mislead a person who watches this film to understand themselves.What Pim, like many young persons, does not yet know is, how to grow relationships which really blossom into a friendship that lasts. Like most of us, that's just the tip of the iceberg of what he doesn't know. For some, the taboos are confusing to some members of society because bullying is widespread in society, based on anything that makes a person into a member of a minority. Their feelings could not be openly discussed with a careless majority.

I_solved_Rubikscube_in_one_min North Sea Texas is a beautiful, well-crafted and well-shot film. Wow, its been a while since I've seen such an amazing, unadulterated romantic journey. I'm not gay but regardless I fell in love with this film so much that I sat down to write a review here.So the premise goes like this... Its about a boy named Pim (I'm not familiar with Dutch/Flemish culture but having seen a few of their films I think a lot of guys are named Pim) who is kind of an introvert, a dreamer, doesn't talk much and spends a lot of his time drawing the things he loves. Young Pim meets a guy nearby, Gino who is three years older than him and eventually falls in love with him. There is also Gino's sister Sabrina, who is the same age as Pim and their mother.Pim's mother, Yvette, on the other hand is a feckless woman who spends most of her time drinking, singing and playing accordion at a local bar. Her entertaining skills have taken over her motherhood skills and clearly Pim doesn't like it. Then there is Etienne, a friend of her who pretty much escorts her and hangs out by the house all the time and Pim isn't a fan of him either. These troubles cause him to hang out at his best friend Gino's place all the time; and also at a local drinking hole called Texas, after which the movie's named. Gino's mother treats Pim like family and understands the fact that he is not lucky to have Yvette as his mother.If a write more I might just end up telling the entire story and BTW I didn't spoil anything for you. I just loved this film. The acting of everyone in the film was so immaculate that you can just feel the emotions of each of the characters. Sexual Frustration and coming-out is what this film is all about and its all so evident in all the actors' faces that you don't need to look at the subtitles below. The cinematography is breath-taking as it captures the lovely locales of the coast of North Sea in between scenes without taking our mind off the plot. A special mention to actor, Jelle Florizoone, who did a fabulous job playing Pim. He was actually one of about 200 teenage boys who auditioned for the part of Pim, and was the immediate choice for the filmmakers. This is his first film as an actor. The entire film rests on the character, Pim and his life and he just makes the character come alive. The maudlin displays of emotion, the cheekiness of teenage love, the heartrending feelings of his first heart-break... Oh he was great! Just because its a gay-themed film doesn't mean straight people shouldn't watch it. It is an excellent film or rather journey of Pim which mesmerises us to 'live' the characters in the film. Its a refreshing break over films where the characters indulge in a sleaze-fest all along and then, at the end, realise that love was here all along. Its a must watch for everyone who is tired of watching cheesy films, having the same story-line, over and over again...

markswelby I'm so glad I took a chance and watched this movie. It was a very sweet gay coming of age film. I think just about every gay man can relate to this movie, and remembers what it was like to have that first crush on someone. I liked the fact that there was no violence in this movie. No one gets bashed or bullied. And it even had a nice ending! The lead character (Pim) was really quite excellent in the role. I really enjoyed the fact that, often, he didn't even have to say much and could convey everything he was thinking with a look. I wish there were more movies like this one. The kind that you watch, and want to see more after it's over. Check it out. You won't regret it.

tuxedo93 If you are down, try this movie. It's excellent creation of time and space. The actors are all believable.and this movie should have gone to the Oscars instead ! It would be nominated for best soundtrack, best picture, best actors, best photography. Suited from 12 years old. No violence. Compare it with 'Get Real', and 'A beautiful Thing' but better.It give an excellent idea how gay's explore their world in the 1950-1960's in Belgium.
