Well, that was an emotional roller-coaster of a movie. I genuinely cannot tell you the last time I cried so much watching a film.

(Note - The following contains spoilers, so if the spoiler tags don't appear, then don't read if you haven't seen it).

[spoiler]The opening as you see and witness the true friendship of these two young boys, clearly having grown up together and become so close, like they were brothers. Spending so much time together, their clear love for each other. The epitome of childhood friendship and their bond together. It was simply adorable. I am sure we can all link our own experiences as young children, we all had that one special friend who you always had at your side, and things would never change .. but they do.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]As they did here. Moving to their new school, getting teased about their closeness, and it not wanting to define who Leo was, he starts pushing Remi away - you can clearly see the inner turmoil working overtime for both of them, and the school playground scene, whilst short, is ultimately where things all changed. Remi couldn't bottle things in anymore and had his release. It was a very emotional scene which really tugged at the heart. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]What followed was the unfolding of grief, anger, denial, and Leo believing he was responsible for what happened and I genuinely feel his heart was broken and would do anything to turn back the clock to make things different. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Leo throws himself into his Ice Hockey, and seemingly deliberately breaks his arm, sobbing uncontrollably whilst having is plastered at the hospital. like this he's able to cry and release himself from the guilt and hurt he is feeling, a truly poignant moment. Will Leo ever let go of how he feels, I certainly hope so.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I honestly felt so emotionally attached to both Leo & Remi, just wanting them to be happy and for that bond to be broken in the cruel way it was, I just felt so sorry for them both. Distraught even. I wanted to give Leo a hug and tell him it was all ok.[/spoiler]

Just a "must watch" movie. Wonderfully written. Wonderfully case. Wonderfully executed. Worthy of every accolade you can throw at it.
