[5.7] Breath, float, dream...
A lovely drama romance interlaced for a brief summer time. The story is engagingly simple, the acting good overall and very good for Andrea Bang who played with tremendous charisma and showed awesome chemistry with Robbie Amell who seemed lost by that powerful romantic force and connection.
Definitely deserves the next installment 'Float - surfing under the sun'.

Not Good Enough
Romantic comedy-Drama '' Float '' is a romance with an underlying family drama to boot.
First of all, the story is too generic. Sure, there are some parts that are fairly enjoyable, however, there were a lot of others that just ruined the film.
The pace, for example, is all over the place, with the romance suffering the most. It robs it from the tension between the leads and leaves a lot off screen when it came to their relationship. That was evident in the ending, as the movie tried to create drama only to wrap things up awkwardly.
Also, there were a lot of plotlines that were left unexplored and suprficial, like the family drama of both leads.
Other than that, the performances were good enough from everyone.
