Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

juanoyhanarte Natural and real. Cinematography was excellent. Oh, and a LGBT+ movie with happy ending!

Henri Healing? Yes, if a situation develops that will make you think about yourself, because this film is all about L-O-V-E. Two males together? Watch such a movie? Hated the thought. Until I watched THIS film.With other things going on in my life, I said "why not?" I bought the DVD, and even before the great ending, had learned a lot. About MYSELF. And unfortunately, many years too late.No, this is not the usual review, of how great the movie was made, the acting, blahblahblah. More than that. I have watched thousands of movies. Nice entertainment, that's fine. Not THIS time.You need to know, this film changed my life. When I posted this review several days ago, if asked "are you gay," my answer WAS "I still don't know for sure, so I'd have to say 'I don't know." NOT any more.However, this wonderful film got me thinking. I watched it AGAIN. And suddenly, I recognized MYSELF as a kid, like Sieger, with a crush on another boy. Sieg's confusion reminded me of my own, way back when. But I was not like him. I was traumatized by a rapist as a kid, and unable to establish my sexual identity when I should have, many years ago. Finally free of bad memories, and faced with a choice between homosexual feelings or a continued heterosexual lifestyle, I am finally surrendering to my feelings, and someday will find a guy to love. :-)Maybe you should see it, too, dude. Especially if you are still hurting yourself, like I was. STOP NOW.

colony_d_85 This is one of the best films I have ever seen and my favorite LGBT one. I watched this movie while surfing Netflix and fell in love with it quickly. I woke up the next morning with memories of the film on my mind. I watched it again the next night. I have not had a movie move me so powerfully before watching Jongens. It left a strange combination of melancholy and beauty with me. I thought of it often throughout the day. Why? Everything about the film works. The cinematography is exceptional. The filming locations were great choices and all of the scenes have a certain pristine feel, echoing the feeling of young love between the characters. The actors deliver heartfelt performances, creating a very genuine feel to the film. The subtlest expressions on their faces show what the characters are feeling. The story line is also very good - Sieger grapples with his sexuality and you can see him trying to accept himself for who he is. In addition, he is stuck in situations socially and at home. The cherry on top is the soundtrack. The audio is mesmerizing and adds to the overall feeling of the film. To conclude, Jongens is a beautifully crafted, incredible, haunting tale of love. This is a must-watch for everyone.

ira - This review is not going to contain spoilers. It was a very nice film. Family relationships, love, denial, hurt. All of it was in this movie. It really made me care for the characters and their stories, it kept me interested, sometimes even on the edge of my seat, up to the last seconds of it. The one main disadvantage i found was it was not fully elaborated in my opinion. I think the film had much more potential, if only it were longer and more developed. As I finished watching, I felt that many things could have been more elaborated and developed, stories and characters in the movie did not reach their full potential. I felt that many important things stayed undeveloped, under the surface and between the lines. Now, the ending - (no spoilers) it felt somewhat forced and rushed to me. Although I was more or less pleased with it, I didn't feel that there was a proper closure to the movie. All in all, it was a very nice movie, although not providing proper closure to several things.
