Product Description

Nana Neul's blistering directorial debut, which has drawn comparisons with Boys Don't Cry and Unveiled, comes to DVD on a wave of film festival acclaim. An assured, mature piece of work that draws heartfelt performances from its leads, My Friend From Faro marks Neul as a talent to watch.Eternal daydreamer Mel can't wait to quit her sucky catering job and fly to her dream destination: Portugal. Things change when the beautiful Jenny literally crashes into her life when Mel nearly runs her over in her classic BMW. It is love at first sight, however there is just one problem: Jenny mistakenly assumes Mel to be a boy. Despite this, the pair become boyfriend and girlfriend. With Mel attempting to disguise her true gender at every turn, her journey from tomboy to out lesbian is fraught with life-defining dilemmas and sweet surprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice, new and groundbreaking 13 July 2012
By Elin Isvind
Amazon Verified Purchase
This film is like a modern, not so violent, tale of Boys Don't Cry. It's romantic, investigating and real. The story is about love, not about the fact that there is two girls, and that none of them really knows the other that well. It's just a nice, cosy little gem that will have you stuck in thoughts after it's done.

The video and sound on the DVD is really good. And the subtitle helps ALOT since I only know two sentences in German.

If you like films in the Boys Don't Cry, Show Me Love and The World Unseen this is the movie for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film 6 Feb 2013

I loved this. Was a bit like boys don't cry but without the rape scene. A good story line about a girl who gets mistaken for a boy who falls in love with a straight girl and then haas to confess to her gender. Well worth watching :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Girls are us. 25 April 2012

Think a girly movie for the younger girls to enjoy. I found it a bit slow and lacking real spark. I think younger people could relate much easier to the main characters and there situations.
