My actual favourite film of all time, so no words can adequately express what it means to me. Maarten Smit is just amazing - as is Andrew Kelley.

10 / 10 Rudi van Dantzig's autobiographical novel of the same name gives us the real, complex story; the director has stated that in this film he aimed to tell a simpler, happier tale. And despite a few anachronisms -- the Canadian flag! -- he manages it admirably well, helped by Maarten Smit's fine performance. When the film was released he received quite a few letters from men and women telling him that as kids they'd had experiences like Jeroen's.

Tells a very different story than Rudy Van Danzig's book, but is nonetheless an exceptional film in its own right in its depiction of a kind of love rarely shown on screen.
