The story of this British low-budget film took place in just two days over the weekend, but the feelings between the two protagonists were vividly portrayed, and they were moved to tears. In my opinion, this is the best gay movie since Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.
The director is very good at capturing the most sensual and romantic moments in the most ordinary life scenes, using the simplest and most straightforward dialogue to advance and structure the plot, a bit like Richard Linklater's "Love Before Sunrise/Setting". The most touching things are all condensed in the inconspicuous details: eyes, smiles, hugs, recorders... The most impressive thing is the two people riding bicycles and the end of the farewell at the station.
Photography and art both follow the laws of simplicity and nature, and are combined with the unpretentious dialogue of life-like scenes, creating a touch of sadness.
