    An observant and sensitively played drama about adolescent sexuality, unrequited love and heartbreak.
  2. Ultimately has few original aspects, but it is an intelligently wrought drama that makes it a respectable entry in the genre.

    Summer Storm is director/co-writer Marco Kreuzpaintner's entry into the "I'm not gay but my boyfriend is" genre.
  4. A contemporary teen summer romance with a modern sexual twist--though in many ways, it's just the same old malarkey.

    A great movie shot in a fantastic setting. Wish it turned out like that in real life.

    Intelligent and sensitive. Finally, a gay-themed pic without layers of guilt trips to justify being oneself and no stereotyping to molify the homophobes. Expand

    Suprisingly good. A breath of fresh air for the genre.

    Another coming out/coming of age film but a little sweeter than most--are young boys in Germany really all that skinny? The one who impressed me most was the gay egotist. Expand
