No establishment of plot, characters, or even tone.

Usually I rate something this low because of something that was done within the story. But this is an exception. There simply wasn't anything compelling about the film. There wasn't any real plot or characters. As a result, there was no sense of payoff at the end for viewers who watched. You can't even really pinpoint the tone of the work. It was just reserved. There was a brief moment of anger, but that was it - and it didn't really do anything. Perhaps there was supposed to be a tone, but it got lost in the acting (which was consistently stiff and muddled)?

The reason why I rated the plot as high as I did is because it didn't fall on the usual GL cliches. And I could see where there was potential for a plot. But the execution, whether that be the actors, script, or production, just simply wasn't there. I know it has received alot of love on it's youtube upload for being a simple lesbian romance, but personally I think there are other films and productions out there that are simple but also much more compelling.

The ending kiss was really adorable though. Cheesy, but in the best way.
