My Best Friend offers, on the one hand, a quite nicely sketched story about the friendship between two teenage boys from different backgrounds, but on the other hand, I felt like something was missing; I felt a certain emotional incompleteness and brevity. The search for self can be a strong theme, but in this case there was a sense of untapped potential. But I must not forget to praise the beautiful locations and the nice musical score.
