Must Not Think

About This Movie

Must Not Think is this intriguing little short that captures the rawness of young love amidst societal pressures. Shot in Paris, it has this intimate, almost voyeuristic feel, which I think really draws you in. The pacing is tight, reflecting the urgency and anxiety of the characters. The performances by the two high school students are surprisingly genuine; you can feel the weight of their fear of acceptance. The way they navigate their relationship in secret adds a layer of tension that resonates. It’s distinctive because it doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles of being a young gay couple - instead, it embraces that awkwardness and vulnerability, which is often glossed over in more polished productions.
