I was quite nervous when I saw this. I was expecting a sort of hybrid of "Another Country" meets "Brideshead Revisited" as the story of "Ollie" (Barry Keoghan) and his aristocratic pal "Felix" (Jacob Elordi) unfolds. Both are at Oxford university, but the former man is ...
Overall Entertaining
This movie was a refreshing experience. Well directed with tight plot. Leaving the viewer always wondering what’s going to happen next?
