Review of Oranges

Oranges (I) (2004)
8/10
Sensitive and bittersweet

Warning: Spoilers
Two young Australian boys (Thomas Blackburne and Martin Sharpe) meet after one crashes his bike into the others car. They walk around and the older boy talks about all the girls he's kissed and how he's dating three girls at once. Then they get alone, share a sweet simple kiss and discover the truth.

Short and bittersweet film. It's very quiet and has two actors who are exceptional their roles. They also appear to be the same age as the characters they play. No big loud pronouncements or any drama. Just a laid-back quiet approach to how young men are dealing with being gay. The only drawback--the Australian accents are thick and it's sometimes hard to hear what they're saying. Still--well worth catching.
