I went into this film during a long weekend I spent watching a lot of films and was pleasantly surprised by how I felt about this. The story was captivating and had a very powerful message from my point of view. I liked how I could relate to both of the main characters (the mother and the friend) during the journey. I almost expected this ind of ending and yet I was again pleasantly surprised that it did not end 100% the way I thought it would.
I have to say that if you're coming to this film for steamy BL scenes, you'd be disappointed. BUT if you're looking for a film with a strong family message and family-doesn't-have-to-related-be-a-family story you've found your film.
