Armand About the love in the nuances of a teenager's life. About rules and shadows of a gesture, about the holes of public image, about victory and the freedom. Complicated and subtle, delicate and naive. Slice of a coming up in the silk of happy-end. Not a movie about gay condition but about choices, expectation and the inside solution. About a boy and his fragile world. About the small gestures as circle of stones.A drama, an answer or a Chopin fragment. Every definition is OK. It is not spectacular and not river of solutions. May be a confession. But every eye, every mind discovers another thing. So, only a film. French, like a summer morning. Madlene, piece of loisir, strange subject. Or only section in a life way. Ordinary world and the end like part of very old story.

jajajaboy123 I think that's all I've to say: Awesome, Great!!It is a very romantic drama, well done. Loved the romantic and sexy music they used, I liked the way they add humor ( a little bit of comedy), eroticism, romance...It was perfect... And LOVED the end. I think this is the first gay-drama movie that I've seen that doesn't end in tragedy. It is not a happy ending at all because not all characters end in happiness, but it definitely shows that gay people can be more than what people think. Gays can overcome all things in life.And also,both the main character and the "new guy at school" are very handsome. Great movie, hot actors (and actresses too), great plot, good development (not that so great but still good)...and...a little bit short for me...But, as Sullivan commented...it was useful. (To know more about what I mean read Sullivan's comment: "Not only excellent: useful, too!" in this same site.

Jay Harris It seems that French TV films about Teenagers coming out Gay, are much more adult & less sensationalistic than ours here in the US.We have a young 17 year old High School student & a champion on its swim team, inadvertently brought out by another student. The film concerns itself with the various reactions of his family, fellow students & team members,friends, both male & one loves female student. Julien Baumgartner is our young hero in only his 3rd role.The lad is very handsome & can act, he may become a major player in the future.The acting & all the production credits are quite good. The only quibble I have we have one tame hetero sex scene BUT no gay one.Ratings *** (out of 4) 87 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10)

Cineastin I expected a lot of this movie, that is why I was terriblydisappointed. The German title "Alles wegen Benjamin" made methink that Benjamin was one of the main characters, but in fact, hedidn't appear in most of the film. I didn't even understand why heshould have been the reason for that suddenly everybody thoughtVincent was gay. I read a lot of plot summaries before watchingthis movie, and it always seemed to me as if there would be a kindof relationship between Vincent and Benjamin. At least, Vincenthad a sort-of-boyfriend, Bruno, but he was a very weak characterand not so important for the story. It was not a bad movie after all, quite realistic and sensitive. Iprobably would have liked it a lot if I hadn't expected more tohappen between the two boys. "À Cause D'un Garçon" was one ofthe better kind of coming-out movies, although there were stillmany things that could have been better. But only because it didn'tfulfill my imaginations, this doesn't have to mean that nobody willlike it!
