Leo ist von Geburt an blind, aber eigentlich ein ganz normaler Teenager. Er will keine Sonderbehandlung, sondern geküsst werden. Seine beste Freundin Giovana würde ja gerne, aber daran denkt Leo gar nicht. Dann kommt Gabriel in seine Klasse. Er begleitet Leo nach Hause, bringt ihm das Tanzen bei und beschreibt ihm die Mondfinsternis. Und nach einer Party gehört auch Leo zu den Jungs, die schon mal geküsst wurden... (Salzgeber & Co. Medien)

At times I thought that I didn’t even have to turn my gaydar on, so flamboyantly queer this movie was. Anyhow, everything that appeared in this movie was so incredibly human and natural that I had no choice but to cheer for the boys to be able to live the life they would write for themselves. At times it was nerve-racking, but in essence this movie was able to captivate me with that humanity.

The feature-length expansion of the original 2010 short film is not as intense, as it spans a slightly longer running time, but I still have to give it full marks. The Way He Looks is a film that doesn't play around, it's honest and realistic, helped by the solid performances. The story outlines the plot of the original short in a more comprehensive way, with purposeful additions of moments that form a consistent whole. I also have to commend the musical score and the selection of familiar songs featured in the film. In short, a modest and extremely warm film that has a nice story and a likeable cast.
