"This time, we have Kami (Alicia Falco), a confident, attractive cheerleader at her local high school with a huge following on social media, and an angry jock boyfriend who is none too pleased when her attention wanders towards a couple of handsome brothers who have just begun attending the school. Younger brother Thiago (Fernando Lindez) is in the same year as Kami, while the older Taylor (Diego Vidales) joins as a coach,"
"It quickly emerges that Kami and the brothers have some sort of dark and contentious history, hinted at in flashbacks and gradually revealed in full across the course of the run time. Coming off like a scrambled-together mix of the love-triangle elements of Twilight with the elite social milieu of The OC, much is made of the idea that Kami is attracted to both brothers, despite Thiago being a sweet lad who is clearly into Kami,"
"It's hard to feel super invested in which brother Kami will choose: she'll pick either the nice one or the nasty one, and a more psychologically complex drama could no doubt invest the dilemma with more penetrating insights. And speaking of penetrating insights, the film's attitude to sex proves something of a curate's egg: it's spicier than most American teen movies, but falls short of offering anything more than titillation."
Kami is a confident, popular high-school cheerleader with a large social-media following and an angry jock boyfriend. Two new brothers arrive: Thiago, a sweet same-year student, and Taylor, an older brother who joins as a coach and immediately acts inappropriately for his role. A dark, contentious history between Kami and the brothers is revealed through flashbacks across the runtime. The narrative centers on a love triangle that mixes elements of Twilight and The OC, with Kami attracted to both brothers. Taylor's repeated red-flag behavior is framed as justified by his feelings. Sexual scenes are spicier than typical American teen films but aim mainly at titillation.
