Bottom line is that this is a meant to be a sweet coming out tale between two 16 year old boys and some of it is sweet, but a lot of it is fanciful, unrealistic and syrupy. The lead, Joe Anders as George, does a pretty good job as a closeted student whose only interests seem to be music and a new, and famous, new student named Max played somewhat adequately by Samuel Paul Small, the eventual love interest. George is super introverted and bullied by many, especially a horrible girl named Molly. All of this fairy tale like piece leads to Max giving George confidence and a school talent show and, of course, love between George and Max blooms. While it does have some sweet moments, if all of this sounds rather mundane, well, it is. I do wish I could be more supportive of this as it is co-written & co-produced by an actor I greatly admire, Josh O'Connor, who also has a small role here, but that admiration doesn't make this a better film.
