Hidden Kisses

It's not easy to speak about homosexuality. It's not easy to be homosexual. Hidden kisses will make you look at all the pain gay guys have been through, it will make you feel how much it hurts to have a father who thinks you're sick, to be surrounded of people staring at you disgusted, laughing at you. Just watch it. I've been hesitant to watch this movie, i thought it would have been an average movie talking about the love of two young guys. This is much more. This is a movie everyone should see. And after you've watched Hidden kisses you will be braver if you're a young boy scared of being himself, worried about other people's judgement. And if you are a homophobic, even after you've watched this movie, my question for you is: 'Haven't you got a heart?'

It is a powerful film. This is the only fair definition. It is an inspired, so precise portrait of a situation who has not solutions. It is a film about teenagers, a picture on a party, cruelty, hate, prejudices, teachers, a single father and his son. It has all the pieces to be a manifesto. Butit is more and more becomes scene by scene. Two scenes are real significant for me - the opened black board by Tristan and the lines about Oscar Wilde and his talk with the Math teacher.And, not doubts, admirable performances. It is a provocative film and a great question about yourself. So, just a powerful film. About honesty, truth and the way to perceive the other.

Really loved this movie. Great coming of age love story that is sad and lovely at the same time. What the two characters go through separately; what they endure because of a kiss is maddening and disturbing. Still, so good; a must watch.

Simply put...this is one in a number of really, really good gay coming-of-age movies that have come out in 2016.

In a realistic way, they've tossed aside a number of the clichés, while focusing on the bare-bones issues that 2 young gay boys share in their completely separate life backgrounds and circumstances -- the fear, the bullying, the isolation, the loneliness, and of course, the love.

And this was a well-done love story, top to bottom, with a solid group of actors who all fit their roles perfectly.

Great chemistry all around, a plot that matters, and a script that makes you feel like you're there. Were there some things plot-wise that are unresolved or questionable? Sure, no doubt about it. This isn't a flawless film. But, what matters in the film comes full circle.

For those reasons, this is a terrific, must watch for those interested in the genre. Hats off.

This would have been a much stronger, more believable story if it were set in some time and place other than 21st century France. As it is, it is captivating until the end, but because of the setting, there's some sort of uncanny valley effect happening.
