This reminded me of The Cemetery Boys, but sadder and not as cute. I know the ending is right there in the title, but I guess I still hoped they’d find a way out. There was some uplift in how two young men could find joy together even knowing they were on death’s door, but I didn’t quite feel their connection or their chemistry. Bonus points for being partially narrated by Michael Crouch, one of my favorites!
