With his dyed hair, willowy build, and penchant for sexually ambivalent pop and rock from generations past, 16-year-old Ned has never fit in at the rugby-mad boarding school his father insists he attend. Determined to simply keep his nose down and weather another year of loneliness and bullying, Ned is pleasantly surprised when he develops a friendship with his dashing new roommate, Conor (Nicholas Galitzine), a rugby virtuoso with issues of his own. The boys bond over music and start to practice guitar together. At the encouragement of their English teacher (Andrew Scott), Ned and Conor enter a talent show at a local girls' school. As both talent show and rugby season loom, however, the pressure on Conor to choose between manly athletic discipline and more artistic pursuits threatens to tear him apart - while Ned is increasingly tempted to betray Conor's trust in order to save his own skin.

Handsome Devil has a catchy theme, a likeable cast, a lovely musical score and a non-violent message about prejudice, friendship and finding oneself. But despite all these positives, I can't help feeling that they could have gone more in depth. On the one hand, it's nice to watch, but on the other hand, it just lacked something that would make me remember it in a month.
