Surreal. Das beschreibt wohl die Atmosphäre die dieser Film vermittelt relativ treffend. Eine ähnliche Stille und manchmal bedrückende Ruhe wie etwa bei Elephant zieht sich durch den Plot. Und genau wie bei Elephant wartet man auf den großen Knall, auf die Lösung und das beruhigende Ende. Und - wie bei Elephant - weiß man doch auch hier von Anfang an, dass es kein Happy End geben kann.

Movies like this are complicated. Just talking about a 12-year-old boy’s sexual identity, it’s complicated. It’s not ‘Well, he likes girls. He’s gonna sneak a Playboy out of his mom’s room. He’s gonna masturbate.’ There’s much more at work than that. If he got the Playboy from his dad there’s some other things at work. There are issues around what fatherhood means, around what manhood means, authority, and all those things get sucked into sexuality. They can’t help but not.  (Jeff Erbach, Regisseur von ‘The Nature of Nicholas’)
