A surprisingly good film from Taiwan about a gay kid and his nominally straight friend. It also gives a little flavor of life as a high school student in Taiwan, which seems a little less full of homophobic machismo compared to what one might encounter in the US. Still I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to have gone to school there.
***Major spoilers***
The straight characters are a little too perceptive of what's going on with the gay character. How would they know what's going on with him? And what I would call pity sex seems rather unlikely to happen, though without it, the story doesn't quite work as anything except a tragedy.
