Saw this this evening at Glasgow Film Theatre. The most comfortable seats ever. The audience are very different from the chain cinemas though twice mobiles rang from old people who forgot to switch them to silence or off.

I thought the film was simple and innocent. The lead female pretending to be a boy but we don't know why. Yes there were questions and these were never answer. But I guess sometimes we just don't need the answers and instead just enjoy the story being told. 6/10

Preference of cinemas:- 1. Glasgow Renfield Street Cineworld, 2. Glasgow Showcase, 3. Braehead Odeon, 4. Vue Fort, 5 Glasgow Springfield Quay, 5. any other cinema in Glasgow area including Hamilton
Also Falkirk, Dunfermline and Stirling but these are rarely used for free previews.

The central question of why she wanted to be a boy never bothered me at all. I'm no expert, but isn't the whole point of gender dysphoria that it's just the way you feel and were born?

A sweet film.
Saw this at the Cameo in Edinburgh this evening.
Really enjoyed it.Very 70s feeling - only thing that gave it away was the laptop!
Reminded me of childhood summers.
Slow reklaxing and nice to watch.
The French by the kids was my level so just about managed to ignore the subtitles.

I saw this there too - must have one the same comp. Lol.

I took a French guy as a +1 and although he liked it he said the actual French was nothing like the subtitles. He felt the words the kids actually used were much better.

I liked. Short but sweet.
