I have to admit that the story and screenplay are too easily readable for this day and age and do not bring anything new. But what won me over was the cinematography and the music. The format of visuals and 80s style music mix chosen that is rather unusual these days has great charm and the acting performances are also a big plus. As a result, you get sometimes funny and sometimes dramatic high quality viewing. (2021.08.03)

Although it may seem so, the film is not about Nora's discovery of her sexual orientation and her sexual experiences, but about discovering herself and, above all, about growing up. Unfortunately, it carries a considerable amount of clichés and this detracts from the originality of the plot in a big way. Occasional scenes are so absurd that the viewer has no chance to believe them. The film feels to be too long and it wouldn't hurt to remove some of the scenes and thus shorten the running time. Still, the characters, especially Nora, are well written and that is what won my favour. Fresh, authentic, but also gritty, the film gives another insight into the lives of today's teenagers and will appeal especially to teenagers, but will not appeal to discerning viewers. (2023.06.12)
