Side by Side

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Side by Side', really digs into the deep connection between two best friends, Angela and Monica. Both have been inseparable since childhood, and it’s that kind of bond that just pulls you in. The pacing feels real, you know? Like it takes its time to let you feel their dreams and fears. The tension rises when only one gets into their dream school, and you can almost feel the weight of their diverging paths. The performances are quite raw, capturing that bittersweet essence of growing up. The film really nails the themes of friendship and ambition without getting overly sentimental, which I appreciate. And, it's not flashy with effects; it’s grounded, making it all the more relatable.
