Blu-ray Review - The Way He Looks
March 29, 2015
"The Way He Looks" isn't a message movie, it's a human story about longing and self-exploration. Credit writer/director Daniel Ribeiro for its restraint, building a tale that isn't insistent with hysterics to make a point about sexual awareness. The picture has its clumsy moments, but it takes on a considerable dramatic challenge, searching for a way to showcase the warmth of burgeoning attraction and love while remaining careful with additional concerns involving parents and social circles. "The Way He Looks" tinkers with teen cinema formula, but it largely avoids crushing cliché, electing to play moments honestly and gently, allowing the viewer to process the delicate emotions in play.
