Hand clap! Elio's head is in the clouds, seeing ultraviolet with his first girlfriend, Camelia.

The story's straightforward and unsubtle, but the plainness should benefit the MG audience. It acknowledges the weird feelings the process of puberty can bring, toxic masculinity, and consent through Elio's eyes. It even calls out the rise of red pill influencers such as Andrew Tate because young boys are the main ones being polluted by him.

There's Mexican slang galore that’s easy to figure out in context though “pedo face” will cause a lot of head scratching. I still don’t get the meaning either. The dialogue is a little off though not quite “How do you do fellow kids?" 

But the ending was exceptional, and I enjoyed the resolution.
