Jacob Elordi is undoubtedly one of the finest actors of his generation, and his performance is effortless. He easily and fully inhabits his character. On one hand, the film leaves the audience with more questions than answers, but that also reflects the world in which gay and bisexual people lived in the fifties, sixties and seventies. It was not safe to explore one's sexuality, much less to express it openly. In fact, it was all but impossible. That the film ends without clear resolution simply reflects the unanswered questions surrounding queer folk in that era. Is he or isn't he? Is she or isn't she? This is a courageous film worth more than one viewing.
A thoughtful, beautiful film about young people in the 50s trying to find their place in the world, their own identity, and love.
