Review of Softie

Softie (2021)
9/10
Really well done coming of age drama!
5 September 2022
Growing up is hard... even harder if you're from a broken home. Johnny knows he wants better for himself but is distracted by all the new feelings he's experiencing.

I really enjoyed this film. It's well acted and filmed really well. Beautiful intimate shots of an authentic feeling yet dysfunctional family. It's a bit uncomfortable but believable and emotional. Anyone can learn about sexuality at a young age when they are surrounded by such promiscuity. I won't spoil anything but if you're into coming of age movies, give it a try. Anyone that grew up in a less than perfect home could relate. I'm going to keep an eye out on this director; definitely talented people brought this film to life.
