Parallel Sons (1995)
9/10
White boy from all-white village falls in love with black outlaw
20 July 2005
A very impressing and moving picture with a very beautiful and very original story, and the very sincere way it is told. Apart from the end the movie could be compared to the quite successful British movie "Beautifull Thing" with a similar, but even less probable love story, and a more harsh, less glossy way of telling the story. I think the movie could have been much more successful -and I would have equally, or more liked it- if it hadn't such a sad ending: Without the ending it could actually be a 'feel good' movie, and maybe it would have gotten more of the success it deserves (to my opinion). But then-again this ending is probably more realistic...(sniff)
