It's the old problem : how does one execute a gay/coming of age movie without wading in too many cliches ?
This film tries to avoid them and is quite successful at that.
While I can still tolerate and understand the behaviour of the parents of the (lovely !) young boy-couple-the really hateful reactions of the schoolmates and the passive reaction of schoolboard/Teachers is A BIT OVER THE TOP for 2016.
As a director I would have considered to let Louis be successful with his suicidal attempt-just to punish the school, the unrelenting prick of a father (Louis father) and society as a whole.
Otherwise the film is great-good actors,very well directed, script okay.
