Hidden Kisses

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.

This an amazing / wonderful movie.

Of course, it sounds very french: Patrick Timsit and all actors are playing as (credible) french parents, school and references are located. But, in all the ways I expected it to be, it sounds right, as well in the feeling of having to comply to adults' expectations than in the internal mood, so different from the exposed one. In a first stage, I totally disliked Louis and then felt "in love" with him. He acts totally right, attracted both to what he thinks right and to what he feels right. This movie enlightens the dual pressure much gays are enduring. Thanks to all actors for their acts their.

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?'

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.
