For me this is a great movie acting of both girls is amazing and the tension between them is amazing how they met how they develop feelings for each others is shown beautifully storyline is not we we expect it to be but overall the movie is great and worth watching🌟
This movie will twist at your heart and take you through an emotional rollercoaster. I keep thinking about the deep scenes. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. Anwen, the lead actress, made me fall in love with her character. The music went extremely well with each scene and the shots that were taken were absolutely stunning and make me want to go to the sites. This is a coming of age movie that will break your heart and make you so happy all at the same time. It really makes you think of the important things in life and how twisted something can be. I have watched this movie too many times, it has become my favorite. I only wish there was going to be a sequel!
The film dragged a bit at the beginning, and the slow development also bothered me a bit. One can say that the long development built up good tension and not everything was revealed straight away. I found the story of the two women just as interesting and I think it's not covered enough in films. The spycy parts were well balanced and I liked the acting characters. Although some actors' characters came across as more real than others. In my opinion the film deserves 7/10 stars. Only seven because I was missing some poetry, but that's a matter of taste. All in all a good film that should get more attention.
The movie started and took top gear within matter of minutes. I felt few scenes were just for the sake, but that's okay. Eventually, all that hurry was to get straight to one point: the chemistry between the two leads.
Frankly, there was nothing new in this movie - be it storyline or the social boundaries against a critical subject - we have all seen tons of such stuff before and maybe watch more in coming time.
However that's what worked: the girls were sweet, they acted well, i felt that the evolving chemistry between them was realistic, and at last, an obvious emotional detour was bound to happen which held weight. I rate this movie 7/10.
One time watchable.

The Canadian film You Can Live Forever was co-written and co-directed directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky.
Anwen O'Driscoll portrays Jaime, a teenager who is sent to live with her aunt after her father's death. Her aunt and uncle are Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jaime develops a romantic relationship with Marike (June Laporte). Marike is also part of the Jehovah's Witness community. It's not a community that accepts lesbian love, and the path forward isn't easy.
This is an extraordinary film. The acting is excellent and the plot is believable. The movie has a very strong IMDb rating of 7.5. I thought that it was even better than that, and rated it 9.
