About this movie

Shy teenager Nathan and his family have moved from one town to another trying to escape the domestic disintegration within their own home. Roy and his family live a quiet life on a farm. When Nathan moves in next door to charismatic Roy, the boys strike up a friendship as high school study partners. Their strong emotional bond soon takes a natural turn toward physical passion, a secret they must hide from those around them in their backwoods rural community.

Ratings and reviews

The dialog and story line was week at times, mostly the beginning, the actors did a good job, thus saving the movie. It has an interesting ending, one that will make you think, I like that in a movie. I was able to relate to Nathan and his issues, which drew me into the movie more easily. It is a movie I will buy, wish there was more to the story!

wow. total wow. I'd not heard of this coming of age story before, but I am totally awed by it. Damn good job.

Pretty good movie. The ending in the book was way better but still recommend this movie to anyone.
