Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I did not think it possible to make a film of this novel, and I certainly did not think it possible to make a good film of it, but this is one of the best I have seen in a very long time. Yes, it is a film about first love and coming of age. Yes, it is a gay relationship. Yes, the characters are 17 and 24. But this is not a “sex film” as some think. Instead, this is a film influenced by Proust ( the author of the novel is an expert on the French author) and deals with the themes of time and memory. No action. No explosions. No great tragedy, just the awakening of longing and desire, and the passing of time.
