"RAP"
I guess I am the second person to review this movie, I have not read the other review, but I will rate this movie just bit higher than the other person.
This is a picture in the series of foreign films that deals with coming out of age as a gay teenager. Whether the movie is French, German, British, Irish, etc. it basically presents the pain and struggle of being gay. I have never seen a Norwegian movie before, but I find these types of films fascinating as not only does the movie shows the gay theme, but a tidbit of the society or culture. Being someone interested in different societies and having a degree in that field, I learned a lot about Norway by just watching this picture.
Sebastian is the main character, a member of among 5 kids living in a small town somewhere in Norway. Sebastian is beginning to realize that something is different. He is in love with his best friend, Ulf, a straight boy who dates one of the girls in that group of 5. There is one more girl, Lisbeth, Sebastian's ex-girl friend. There is one more boy, Janne.
Sebastian is a spunky kid, beautiful boy, with a saintly smile. He has long hair, neck length. He is very athletic, beefed up, just like Ulf. Ulf, the more masculine, shows that Viking look, the rough exterior. Both boys horse around a lot.
The parents of Sebastian are educated and well to do. Ulf comes from an impoverished home, with two sisters. He helps his mom with the chores and babysitting. There is an enormous contrast between both boys socially.
One very important point to bring out is the relationship between Sebastian and his mother. It is feisty and intelligent, the conversations are in a very authoritarian tone by both, but not disrespectful. The father takes a back role, but not totally gone. They both find out about Sebastian, but their reactions are mixed, pain and laughter. One of these parents must be a psychiatrist.
One night, Ulf comes over to Sebastian's home. They both have fun, making waffles and a total mess in the kitchen, they drink champagne getting drunk, listen to music and dancing, they both tried mascara to look feminine (which I found interesting), and they both have a bath together in a jacuzzi looking tub (again interesting but nothing happening) literally flooding the bathroom, and finally the night is over, Ulf is ready to go, Sebastian pleads with Ulf to stay over, Ulf declines, and Sebastian impulsively kisses Ulf.
The rest of the movie is pretty much Sebastian coming out, and his friends accepting him, including Ulf.
Sebastian is a sweet movie. Hampus Bjork as Sebastian is an extremely cute boy, with that radiant smile, and cute long hair. Nicolai Cleve Broch as Ulf is also handsome in a more rougher exterior. Because I am the second person to review this movie, it shows that there is not a whole a lot of interest. But if you are reading this, it is a nice movie.

Now life beginsMay 09, 2011

Sebastian is a 16 year old guy going through some tough times of thought. He spends his time alone in his room just thinking about life and what it all means. He is rather distant from his friends and from his parents, all of whom just want him to open up and be himself. He on the other hand just doesn't quite have enough confidence in their love to feel they can be trusted with the truth that is in his head alone. One day something happens that brings light and a moment of satisfaction to Sebastian and he steals a kiss from his best friend Ulf, who doesn't quite respond the way Sebastian hoped he would. All in all however it opens the door to trust and he finds the strength in himself to reveal his deepest thoughts and fear to his family and friends. As he allows those closest in his life to see who and what he really is, Sebastian also begins to see for the first time what love and friendship is all about, and that he is not as alone as he thought.
I liked this film. It centers around a Norweigan town and some of the scenery makes a nice backdrop for the film. English subtitles that are for the most part easy to follow. There are a few scenes that are not well lighted and could have been filmed a little better, but all in all a pretty good production and fun to watch. The acting is very good for most of the characters. This is a good film about self discovery and coming of age. It's light hearted and written in a way that you can feel the characters and the struggles they face in life. I recommend it to anyone who likes to watch coming of age films and can relate to the struggles of a teenaged boy trying to find himself and deal with his feelings of attraction for other boys.
 I think Sebastian was actually the last to know!!!Apr 16, 2012

It's like everyone knows but Sebastian, and they don't care one way or the other. I almost didn't think it was a gay movie, of course until "THE KISS". Cute characters, well acted, great script, Sebastians long hair is beautiful, well he is beautiful, and his buddy is too. High school kids, living and playing like they do in the States, nothing very different, cultures seem very similar, fear of rejection works on him through the movie, he worries enough for a 40 year old. This movie doesn't dissapoint, highly recommended.
 Haven't we seen this before?Dec 20, 2011

Disappointing coming of age drama about a gay teenager coming out to his family, friends and himself. (Hampus Björck) does a good job as the rebellious title character, effectively portraying the confusion and angst most teenagers experience as they make the transition from child to adult. The main problem with the movie is that Sebastian just isn't very likable. I'm not sure if his parents are supposed to be his enemies or simply buffoons. In any case I found them much more interesting and sympathetic than their son.
There are lots of coming of age movies out there, maybe too many. The territory has been covered already, and this one doesn't have anything new to say. Too bad.
Little known but worth SeeingNov 08, 2000
Ciske de Rat, is a Dutch movie starring Danny de Munk (Now a popular singer in the netherlands). Ciske is an 11 year old boy, that is mischevious, rude and violent. Yet he has a heart of gold. All he needs is to be listened to and understood. He gets little attention from his flirty mother and after one more argument, which results in Ciske killing her unintentionally in a fit of rage, Ciske is sent to a juvenile prison. When he is released, he goes back to live with his father and helps him to rekindle his romance with his former Fiancee. Ciske then makes amends in an unlikely way, for his crime, which left him hated by all. He saves someones life. Its a great film, well acted by everyone. Worth seeing. Danny has a great singing voice and personality. This film was and is very popular in the Netherlands, so Danny de Munk went on to star in a Documentary which saw him playing opposite his Ciske character.
Hope the review helped :)
