    ...this is not a road movie nor a biker movie; and all seems bland. Lack of tension and the plot is way too cliché. Is about growing and the problems that teenagers would be associated. Sometimes we need a "word" in the right moment to keep things going on strong. The acting of the girl is not convincing. The interaction of the scenes is a bit sloppy. The director tried but could not obtained a dreamy point of view of some decisive scenes. Could be good.

    I was skeptical about watching this because of the ages of the leads, but it was perfectly okay in how their relationship was. They both needed someone and they became irreplaceable existences to each other. The actors showed the character's love so well that I could feel exactly what they were feeling. The actors are worthy of awards, they were so good. The story was realistic and deep, diving into people who grow up in the tough world. The youth of the characters allow them to make mistakes and grow, but they stayed true to who they were in the beginning. This is now my favorite movie, the best I've ever seen. I never feel this much for a drama, but it was portrayed so well that it was undeniably perfect. Please watch this.

    A good story, but lacked some intensity when it came to the romance. Though, there was a strong base on which a great love story could have been bloomed, however, the romance was bit weak. That was, probably, because the film makers focused more on the girl's bad family background and on the tragedy part of the movie, as well as the gang dynamics, the girl's drama towards her mother and the ones around her, and the pattern boy gets beaten-runs to the girl-girl takes care of him. Or, maybe the couple didn't have the chemistry that the love story needed. But, other than that, it wasn't that bad of a movie. It had some interesting parts, and the love story was okay overall. So, 5 out of 10.
