As an adolescent struggling to find his place in the world, emerging artist Danny (Tye Olson) fell hopelessly in love with handsome athlete Carter (Kyle Clare). Despite the fact that the relationship simply wasn't meant to be, something positive did come of the situation. Danny learned to harness his heartbreak and turn it into creativity thanks to the encouragement of his free-spirited art teacher, Mrs. Martin, his physically disabled best-friend, Andy, and his mother, Miriam -- a recovering alcoholic. Now, just as Danny begins to find success on the New York art scene, his relationship with current lover Allan seems caught at a crossroads. If Danny can keep his promise never to paint the boy again there is still hope for the troubled couple, but sometimes the only way for Danny to overcome his emotions is to pick up a paintbrush and allow his art to come naturally. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
This modest movie, with a side plot that looks unblinkingly at gay-bashing among high school students, deserves to attract crossover customers.

Fr. Chris Carpenter, Movie Dearest
Reminiscent of the superior, 1999 British film "Get Real"...To "Watercolors" detriment, (writer-director) Oliveras turns up the angst and minimizes the humor in tale of conflicted boy-love.
