May Snow

About This Movie

So, 'May Snow' from 1989—a rather obscure gem, honestly. It’s centered around kids, which isn’t always my go-to, but this one really taps into those adolescent dreams and the messy process of figuring out who you are. The pacing feels almost dreamlike at times, drifting between moments of intense longing and the innocence of youth. The performances, while perhaps not polished, have a rawness that captures the essence of that age beautifully. The film's atmosphere is a blend of nostalgic innocence and a touch of melancholy. It's interesting how they handle character development—these kids are all about their aspirations, yet you see that struggle for self-identity creeping in. Not your typical romance, but definitely something that lingers in your mind afterward.
