True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is a small, slow-paced, poised, beautiful movie only the French can make. Of course, the old buildings, paint-flaking doors, and the sounds of the French language help to set the tone.It is about childhood and priesthood, friendship and love, honesty and lack of malice, and how a religious, heterosexist culture can mess them up. It is worth watching even if you don't buy the whole catholic/theological argumentation (I don't).It also alludes to the oft-pointed fact that the Church - while despising same-sex love/sex - has been a safe haven for those God-fearing individuals who cannot act/feel otherwise.Enjoy!

The spoiler is not about the plot, but about the ages of the two boys. To me they appeared to be 14 and 9 or so. Add 4 years to each boy's age and you get a more realistic love story within a school.I was not wholly satisfied with the plot, because it was rather banal, but I can't fault the acting, which was excellent, right down to the glint in Sevrais's eyes when he sees Souplier in the gym I wonder, too, if there was a pun or two in the boys' names: Sevrais "C'est Vrais" (for he told the truth a lot) and "Souplier" perhaps "Supplicant? The final scenes do call into question the entire church hierarchy and its "mastery" of sins of the flesh

As usual a beautiful performance by young actor Nael Marandin, here only 16 years old. I hope Marandin will continue acting although I don't think he's appeared in a movie since 1998. The story is also beautiful and the subject doesn't feel out of date at all. Recommended to those who can appreciate a nice, little flick with a slow pace.

This story of a priest scrutinizing the close friendship of two young boys in a highly-religious, regulated catholic school, was well treated and in tune with the author's book. The poised and repressed sentiments lead to a slow, uneventful movie that succeeds however in getting its point across. A nice tableau of a time not so far away.
