A brilliant film. Yes, it's for young adults, too.
The acting is superb, and the subject matter is addressed in a thoughtful and provocative way. Do not shield the teens from this film. They may not have an interest, or admit they have, but I'll bet that those who watch it will come away enlightened, and in some cases, relieved.

Great film and a real eye opener
This movie was an exelent film because it was about life and how everyone lives it differently. The boys speak their minds and they're so open about who they are. What I love about this film is that everything is in the open air so there really aren't any secrets. They are accepting of each other's differences. I love this movie!

very confusing...
I didn't understand it at all.. I understood the basic parts of the story but when it ended I felt like I was missing something, which led me to believe that there is something deeper that I didn't grasp
