Title: Love affair, deja vu
Product review: I fell in love with this movie and the lead characters. I now live in Los Angeles but grew up in the British culture of New Zealand. I attended a very similar grammar school and my suburb could have been a clone of Basingstoke. Having said that, they film was totally real to me, the contradictions of living in a British culture that can be include supportive teachers and friends on one level but be so homophobic on another. I also had an affair with the school jock and it pained me that I was shunned by him in public. This film transported me back twenty five years, it was compelling. I feel some of the nuances of the film will be missed this side of the Atlantic and the acting seems subdued by American standards but reflects the reserved culture of the British. I felt the characters realistic and compelling. Watch the film with a good friend. Highly recommended.
