Esteros [DVD]

What a wonderful love story. It is kind of like Boyhood, except it is gayer, more intimate and the protagonists remain lifelong friends, with benefits.These two boys are the best of friends and would have never have been apart as most of their family was aware of where they were headed. And they were pretty cool with their togetherness.Yet, a mere look, with not so much as one word from the father of one of these boys changed the trajectory of their lives.I experienced a very similar situation when I tried to come out, at age 18 to the family members I trusted and looked up to. Like these two lovers, after many years, I realized I was hiding who I was because I didn't want to lose my family's approval.The setting is Argentina and the people live in small mostly rural town, but it does not feel impoverished. The people in the story love their lives and their family. You walk away with a beautiful feeling, see it or see it with some one you love!

Overated, but OK. Slow paced and somewhat lacking substance. There are many other better thematic, coming-of-age/gay movies out there, i.e. Heartstone, Night has settled, Departure, Call me by your name, North Sea Texas, You are not alone,etc.

Good film to watch to see two best friends reunite and relive their childhood which is good

The DVD was sent out to me in Australia from the UK in a very very short time! Excellent service. The subtitles are in white so not as easy to read in some scenes and I noticed the translation was slightly different to another version I had seen. But so glad Amazon had it in stock and sent it so quickly! Excellent movie.

Pity there isn’t a Blu Ray of this terrific gay love story..Beautifully played and set.
