Adrian E @RT37114213 18 hrs ago This is an unexpectedly beautiful story where we get to watch a friendship naturally develop over time, leading to events that give the characters a chance to form a lifelong bond. Anyone who didn’t understand this film obviously did not grow up in a time where AIM, Livejournal, MySpace, etc. were essential, "private" spaces for teenagers to really get to know one another, free from the tethers of parental supervision. This film’s depiction of that is DEAD-ON! Or maybe they just haven’t experienced the type of unconditional love that can come from dark places and adversity, allowing two people to come together in their most raw, confusing, and vulnerable moments. Both actors were fantastic and worked INCREDIBLY well with one another, showing a profoundly natural chemistry that is authentic and rare to see on screen.

I believe the acting is terrific, many say that the acting was mediocre, but I believe that that feeling is what made the acting great. The whole story is between two regular teens from different status quo just talking on a communication application casually. This is what the acting was suppose to achieve: casual conversation, yet subtle changes in tone and behavior. This was especially interesting seeing as how most of the actors' screen time was performed only on a quarter or more of the actual size of the screen. This movie is mostly accurate in depicting how internet friendships start out and grow in our current generation (many of which the current reviewers for the movie wouldn't understand since they never experienced this before). The actors are able to convey real emotions and act together in such a way that feels as if their relationship is real and that they both made a real connection. It is also interesting how the movie has a more obvious undertone besides the motif of friendship in the movie which are hot topic issues in our current society. I won't say any further because as to not spoil the movie for you, as well as I was thoroughly surprised when each of the character's secrets were revealed. All through out the movie you can't help but to keep your eyes glued to the screen, feel some sort of empathy for both characters emotions and situations, as well as hoping for them to finally meet and see each other in person. All in all this movie is amazing in it's idea and how it was carried out all the while giving you a sweet and satisfying ending that left this reviewer in tears. See more Oct 1, 2018 I liked it. Interesting twists along the way that keep it from being one of those where you know from the start how it's going to turn out. See more Read all reviews
