Of an Age (2022)
9/10
Heartbreakingly real!

I just accidently saw the poster of this movie on IMDb and I thought it's beautiful, so I decided to watch it. The film felt incredibly real, capturing the bitter essence of reality. I'm always drawn to honest and realistic movies.

Both male characters had amazing acting that made me weep at a few scenes. I completely fell in love with Adam's mature and morally upright character! I also appreciated the natural and imperfect appearances of the actors (they had acne and moles for example). The deep yet clear and engaging dialogues between the characters made me both reflect and smile.

The ending broke our hearts obviously, but wouldn't that be the most plausible ending in the reality? I mean people often get married to those they don't truly love (like Ebony and her unfaithful husband), and one-sided love is so common (I believe Ebony may have had feelings for Kol, although I'm not entirely sure), and when eventually two souls fall in love with each other bad timing and circumstances like that, prevent them from being together. Life can be brutal, but it still holds moments of beauty. What Adam and Kol shared was beautiful.

I also admired that in this movie, intimacy went beyond physical contact.
