Not Friends

The film is brilliant and I think the director executed the film in a fresh and touching way. This is not a cliche story and I loved every twist of the story. I laughed and cried soooooo hard at the same time.

If you are a movie lover or love shooting videos, you will resonate deeply with this film. My personal opinion is that I like teenage school romance drama with both charming leads, and although this is not a romance film, I still find both actors are lovely and charming.

To anyone reading this: cherish your friends. I want to say to my old friends that although we are no longer in contact, I also want to thank you for being my friends and created many wonderful memories.

A lively, entertaining and heartfelt story about youth, film-making and friendships. Anthony Buisseret shines in the leading role as a boy who has to grapple with his rash decision to make a short film that is more for selfish reasons than altruistic ones. Although the film's humour can get silly at times, what is youth but the heady rush of having fun with friends? That being said, this film is moving in equal measure and will tug at your heartstrings. The plot twist makes it quite thought-provoking and interesting. All in all, this film which is Thailand's submission for the 96th Academy Awards is a sweet and enjoyable film to watch.

"Not Friends" delves into the complexities of friendship, love, and identity. The narrative explores the blurred lines between friendship and romantic attraction, especially in the context of young adulthood and self-discovery. The story is engaging as it tackles these emotional and sometimes tumultuous experiences, making it relatable to anyone who has navigated the uncertainties of young love and friendship.

Characters and Performances: The cast delivers heartfelt performances that bring depth to their characters. Poompat Iam-samang and Pawin Kulkaranyawich, in particular, stand out for their ability to convey the nuanced emotions of their roles. Their chemistry is palpable and drives the story forward, making their journey compelling to watch.

After watching it, I found the movie to be good, but not as good as I expected since it's pretty simple. I personally like the simplicity. The very nature of a movie that we can enjoy with the movie. I liked the first part towards the middle, rather than the end of the movie, which was more of a tight start between the early days of the movie (but I was somewhat remiss from high school) and when it came to my friend (not), it became quite as dramatical as my style of GDH. You're burning up, like, a lot more natural.

All in all, a movie that takes me back to thinking about my friends again very well, they are still close now, or close friends who have become friends (not) are close enough. But the movie itself was nothing more than what we expected.

I like the movie and watched it more than once

Thanks to the director who is also the film scriptwriter, the brilliant screenplay has interesting & touching twist and turns and great (sometimes even humourous) dialogue/movie lines.

It is really a great film about joe, the ingenious screenplay gradually reveal how the ordinary but sunny character guy (joe) is loved and missed by his friends and deeply by Bokeh around him

The main characters are all acting great. Tithiya shines in her acting as lovely Bokeh in the movie who has deep and subtle feeling for Joe.

Also tributes to the other supporting cast: the movie team, ohm, liew, moms of pae and joe, and the principal in the movie.
