🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Lin Shu-Yu constructs his semi-autobiographical debut around the fragile ecosystem of teenage friendship. The film works with a naturalistic ensemble cast and period details to explore how a national scandal reverberates through the personal lives of a group of boys, testing their loyalties to the breaking point.

What lingers after the final frame is a poignant sense of an era's end and the quiet tragedy of outgrowing your own world. The film captures that precise moment when the summer of youth gives way to a colder, more complicated wind. — MovieFinder Editorial
