"A nice comedy romance in the high school setting of Cyrano de Bergerac, with a nice romantic twist!"

" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a non teen I was so surprised with how much I loved this beautiful little movie. It was funny, sweet and heartfelt with some sublimely poignant moments enhanced with an atmospheric soundtrack that even I could be moved by. "

"Oh my God. This movie is 3 years old but my first watch. This is amazing. A kind of teenage alternative Cyrano story. All three MC’s are some of the coolest characters ever. Hilarious, heartfelt in the best way, hopeful. And it’s set up perfect for a sequel. Someone please make that happen. This is how I felt after the first time I saw Breakfast Club. "

"7/10 this is such a good adaptation of Cyrano and brilliantly innovated the plot and characters to be fitting in the modern setting. The characters and their experiences feel so authentic and real. They aren’t glamorized. The friendship dynamic is probably my favorite thing about the whole film, it’s just so beautiful and wholesome. It’s such an expectation diversion. I cried so hard during this movie. (It is kinda cheesy at times though)"

"Sweet but not your typical teen movie. Glad it wasn’t all tied up in a neat little bow at the end. Some very deep moments are in this film. Really gets to the heart of the issues presented. Love the line in the film…..”Have you ever loved someone so much that you didn’t want a single thing about them to change?” Really makes you think about what you are asking of your love interest. Oh and great sound track!"

"It's predictable. I definitely skipped through most of it because it was boring. Save yourself some time and just skip to the last 10 minutes."
