Particularly identified with this line: "It wasn’t that either of you had changed, actually, it was because you had stayed the same, and that wasn’t enough." Very true. The saddest part about childhood friendships is that a lot of them are based on circumstance (where you live, school, etc) and sometimes those relatonships stops making sense in the 'real world'. It's a shame, but something so many of us experience.

Couldn't agree more with Shannon's point about 'Close'. The best film I've watched this year (although I thought it was Belgian). It investigates the policing of male behaviour in a way I've never seen in a movie, and Eden Dambrine gives one of the greatest child performances ever committed to film.

You're quite correct Shane, it is Belgian! I'm excited to watch it

Would hugely recommend, although one you may have to be in the right mood for. Definitely not a hungover Sunday afternoon film.
