22. Jay
Taiwanese Movie - 2019
pros: most people could find it disgusting but don't forget he's a 13 years old boy, who discovers his first sexual attraction, even sexual orientation; he's also learning that he is not attracted to girls as we see late in the film, but not for giving it a try. I found the scene in which Jay try to kiss the girl and then he goes to wash his mouth very touching. he was trying to act as his brother, just like when he played basketball with him.
it's interesting the fact that maybe his brother was aware of it and not entirely averse to it. his brother also left the door to his bedroom ajar when he was with the girl even though he knew Jay was there, he have seen his shoes near the front door after all. he also wore a hoodie when they were dining with the girl. it would be interesting to know why he did that cause, like we have seen, he always walked in the house bare chest. maybe it's cause he felt guilty for what he did with the girl.
the acting and the photography
cons: wish it was longer
