This is a slight but insightful film that feels very real.

Biasin’s script plods as it relies on repetitive band rehearsals and inert conversations to pad a story that only mildly explores young gay desire — like “Heartstopper” but with less charm and fewer stakes.

There’s a certain kind of magic reserved for a teenage, shoegaze-y rock band. Such is the central heartbeat of Sublime, an Argentinian LGBTQ+ drama about two boys growing up and every turbulent feeling that comes along with it.

Just because I wasn’t vibing with much of Sublime doesn’t mean I can’t admire it as a picture with a boundless heart.
