The story and character configuration of the film seem to be a clichéd American college youth love story, but in fact, the youth romance is the least important part of the film's story. The three characters who sound like a cliché are also quite realistic and full. In addition to the American-style plot and details, in terms of atmosphere, the film is closer to an Asian youth film: sentimental, subtle, light and delicate   .
Although the film is not a complicated film, it is worth discussing from many different angles. It juxtaposes same-sex attraction and opposite-sex attraction, neither favoring the other nor deliberately distorting it. As a youth film, the film still talks about the little lies, temptation, and confusion in the process of growing up, but avoids falling into the clichéd plot that makes no fuss. The film features a Chinese-American girl as the protagonist, and the process of her awakening and expressing her LGBT identity in white society is naturally presented in a non-spectacular way. Wu Siwei's future is full of expectations. Even putting aside the stylized labels, the film itself deserves enough attention because it satisfies the most difficult requirement for a film of its kind: freshness. The film carefully balances humorous rants and just-right provocations, and the light-hearted and cute style fits perfectly with the tone of the story   .

    The final monologue in the church brought tears to my eyes. It's not who you love or who you're with. In fact, these are not important, but gradually learn what love is, and if you know how to love, people will grow along with them. Not only the heroine, but also the boy and the school girl also understand what love is in the process. A very comfortable youth film, although there are many familiar shadows from previous films in terms of plot settings and character settings, but on this basis, many interesting breakthroughs have been made. The depiction of emotions is very delicate, and the funny places are also very funny. In a sense, they are also internet universities. I think of another internet university that went online today.

    Campus Love Saint... What's the name? I prefer the translated name of "Youth Unknown". The growth of youth is full of adventure, unknown, courage, and choices. The heroine is helping the hero pursue the girl. I also gradually saw the other side of myself. The film is very delicate. One flower is one world. The heroine lives in a small town but has the same resonance and thinking as everyone's youth. Like someone, it has nothing to do with gender, but it must take courage. However, in the third act of the film, some plots were not well controlled, the role changes were a bit rushed, the emotions were not in place, and the preaching was aggravated.

The Half of It quotes

  • Ellie Chu: I'm Ellie Chu.

    Aster Flores: Yes, I know. You've only been playing my dad's services every Sunday for, like, four years. You're his favorite heathen. He can't handle mediocre accompanists, even if they ARE saved.

  • Ellie Chu: The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like them.
