Review of Sublime

Sublime (2022)
4/10
Tedious film
26 February 2023
Despite some glowing reviews here, I simply cannot agree that this is a good film. A lot of screen time is spent on showing a band that has hopes for success. Perhaps they will, perhaps they won't. This sums up too the off and on platonic closeness between two teenage youths and despite yearning gay glances they pay rather lack lustre ' love ' attention to teenage girls. Like the music it is annoyingly repetitive and must have been annoying for at least one of the girls (if this was real life, as this film seems to aspire to that debatable state of reality.) I know that teenagers go through questioning agonies over their sexual orientation, but then a lot of so-called adults have the same problem. It comes with a lot of gay film territory, and as long as homophobia within and without continues it will continue to do so. There is one kiss (gay or perhaps platonic love ? Hard to tell as it had absolutely no give away signs as to feelings.) Not much more to say than this is an Argentinian film and the acting was adequate.
