Breathtakingly beautiful and honestly almost perfect
This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen, and I don't say that lightly. I loved the show, but this film gives us more breathing room and time to spend getting to know the characters - to see how time changes them and their relationship.
This isn't your typical BL stuffed with fanservice, and in fact I would argue that this isn't BL at all. Instead it's a gorgeously filmed, exquisitely written, and flawlessly acted film that celebrates the existence and resilience of LGBTQ+ folks, which caused me to ugly-cry at more than one place in the film. The characters aren't caricatures - they're written to be real people who are meant to be together and who fight to be together - sometimes fighting themselves and their preconceived notions of what "normal" is.
