Walks the line

Punk 57 is a cute, edgy, realistic love story about two teenagers. It walks the line between sweet and sexy. The plot was interesting, the tension was thick, the intimate scenes were h-o-t. Overall, I truly enjoyed this book. I love a story that doesn't feel overplayed, one that makes me forget I'm reading about high schoolers and makes it easy to see the characters as just people. Ryen and Misha didn't experience Insta-love, thank goodness, but there was a quickly building attraction between the two of them that I most definitely could forgive!

Not as good as the book
The book is quite a slow burner, but it works because of the level of depth and detail given to Elio as the main character. The film sadly doesn’t have the same impact and it actually comes across quite dull. Whilst some of the performances and scenes are in keeping with the book, the whole film just seems very slow and verging on boring. And the edgy scenes from the book (the peach one for instance) are a lot more shocking to see on film. It isn’t a terrible film, it’s just completely immemorable and I don’t think deserving of all of the accolades.
