Golden Delicious

This film is slow-paced, about half an hour too long, and could do with dropping some elements. No one when watching a movie cares about the administration of a business. The central characters are growing up and taking their time with it. If you have watched a coming-of-age film before, there is little new here, other than social media can ruin lives. All the classic themes of teenagers with secrets, whispers, bullying, talk of sex, and self-discovery. Prepare yourself for a lot of screen time where characters apologise to each other. It goes on and on to nearly the very end. But it is well shot, with good production values.

My partner and I love LGBTQ+ films and are always on the hunt for more. This film surpassed all our expectations. It felt truly authentic, and genuine. The storyline is relatable, and heartfelt portraying an asian-canadian high school coming out story. We loved this film soo much, it is truly such a masterpiece everyone should enjoy. We especially enjoy films like heartstopper, love simon, love victor, red white & royal blue, sex education and such. Golden Delicious felt like it was on the same level as these films, if not better. The acting by Cardi Wong, especially in the interactions with his family in the last scenes was spot on and brought us to tears. Every scene was well captured and meaningful to the story. Bravo amazing work, truly a job well done by the talented Director Jason Karman. Please make more LGBTQ+ films, we'll be here to support and enjoy your outstanding work.
