Innocence. Such was the time where youngsters were all vulnerable and there is nothing in life but love. The film portrays a beautiful picture of those times without diving into much drama or thrill. This is life as it gets real and a turning point, where decisions taken will have an impact on the rest of these students' lives. They are unsure what to do, they don't know about what will make them happy, they want to experience life fully.

Beautiful cinematography especially for the long opening and closing scenes where we see Laura and Carlos together, where the film gives the feeling of love-making rather than pure sex, which one can find in 99% of films these days.

Acting is powerful, both young actors perform well, especially Maria Padrese fills the screen much similar to Adele in Blue is the Warmest Color.

I tend to like first films, first books, debut albums. This is no exception!

A lot of jealousy, possession, kind of the early Stages and inmature relationship starts. Sometimes too much explicit scenes, which is not necessary for it to explain passion, but ok. On the other hand theres some extra scenes which cant add anything to the plot, so weird. Maria pedraza she is such a great actress. But still, the story, i find it very toxic. Hope we still evolve on that definition to declair it love... with time. I know they were young and reckless, but still.

Wtf with that elevator thing? I was hoping to get a slice of life, but what I got was cringe romantic drama with bad dialogue. A better script, a likeable duo, and great acting would've made this a great film.

A very cute couple is shown with very romantic handling. It goes on but the boy gradually and understandably develops a sense of possession so much so that behaves as if he owns the girl.. This is too much for the girl to handle. As though the boy is shown extremely eccentric ideas of liberty even not going for father sponsored college fees but opts for a hardworking wrist watch repairing!! Girl believes in trying out any thing that is on earth including drug occasional, Smokes, Drinks, Lesbianism Friendships, a different sexual partner, Prosthesis etc. She basically not box thinker. Their conflicts soon start surfacing and in one of the incidents boy even blows whistle to Police Station at the cost of his losing friendship for ever in extreme possessive force. They have their unusual locations for sex preferences as well! Some unique novelty in opting for those matters like Lift (Elevator)Tunnel room for semi privacy. Sensual sex scenes. All are very cute and the detailing of the act praiseworthy.

Although the movie has some good scenes and some of the dialogue is well written (like when teens talk to each other), the script overall is not good. We don't know a lot about characters as they are not well developed, we are not interested in them & everything that happens seems arbitrary. Although the direction is adequate and the use of light to mirror the relationship status is inspired, it's hardly innovative. Although it's obviously going for a grand statement about first love and first heartbreak and how it leaves consequences, it simply comes off as a trifle, a genre exercise that will only satisfy the target audience of teenagers in toxic relationships.
