With Freedom Comes Challenge
21 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
An unusual true drama, brought to the screen in muted tones by a very capable young cast. This piece challenges social mores, and may well be upsetting to those who cherish or idealise the innocence of youth. The film very candidly explores youth sexuality and notions of family, and in so doing asks questions that the viewer is expected to answer for themselves. Some viewers who are no longer in their youth themselves may be surprised and discomfited by the views and attitudes held by the youths depicted. I have been made to think about my own views and prejudices, and have not yet resettled my mind. I was, however, inexorably drawn in to explore the concepts of their world, and therefore forced to think. Part of their world has a seductive freedom, and part of it is deeply disturbing.
