Good acting and cinematography, but making a political propaganda movie spoiled it - (not a partisan opinion).

Very unrealistic short film tbh. Seriously, this was quite a pathetic “film”. There was no nuance or thought put into this, except for a very propagandized far left agenda.

Honestly I had to look up QAnon mom… she played the roll superbly. Great actors all the way around. Enjoyed the film too.

THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FILM. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT MADE ME TEAR UP. I so wish it was longer because I really fell in love with the 2 main characters! Bravo, just bravo!

I thought this kind of insanity was something restricted to Bolsonaro's Brazilian followers. Unfortunately, it seems to be something much bigger than that.

A friend and I were looking up "psychological thriller short films" and this one was in the Related list on the side of the page from our first video, so we gave it a shot, assuming that it was another psychological thriller. Needless to say, we were a bit disappointed... But the mom's lunacy was at least a little something for us.

Anyway, this was really well done..

grew up amidst gay siblings, friends, etc.
homosexual males are not all effeminate as consistently represented in film from word one
nor need their sexual choice have any meaning beyond that which is inherent, need not infuse their lives and identity such that nothing else is important other than their next sexual encounter
it’s not a ticket to behave selfishly, irresponsibly nor to use as a tool to manipulate
no more than being straight, truly surprised by ongoing clichés
seems that one’s sexual preferences need not be about everything that they are but, I see here, even in contemporary filmmaking, all significant decisions, everything guided by a sexual preference; no judgement intended, yet in real everyday life, hard to live with, to soak it up and have it be the only beacon of guiding light as opposed to a part of who they are instead of all that they are as multi-dimensional human beings just like the rest of us
what exactly is the viewer meant to learn or even be entertained by?

Here we are in 2026. We learned the vaccine prevented nothing. The masks prevented nothing. Media lied, healthcare providers only cared about their ego and most blindly followed the chain of command. People only died in the hospitals under on ventilators. Those who took the vaccine are still done of the most aggressive people to exist.

May those who developed deadly health conditions or died shortly after.. be at peace ❤. My research saved my life.

What a load of bullshit propaganda. The mother is not unhinged. This video is unhinged. 😅 Imagine implying that the vaccines are safe. ~ Gen

This is an excellent piece. I haven't gotten so emotional from a movie in years. The acting is exceptional too. Very very well done. 🎉

Some people (millions?) will see this story of kindness, truth, trust, and generosity between two young men and be outraged. So glad not to be among them.

Such a wonderful film. The actors did a tremendous job. I forget that those poor souls who fall in with Qanon and other such conspiracies often have families. I really hope those children can all be safe from their misguided parents and find their own 'move to New York' scenario.
