CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Toby Nathan What an interesting little film. Finally we have a gay film that doesn't revolve around coming out, AIDS, or circuit parties. This is a film about real people with real problems that everybody can relate to -- gay or straight. The film has a real documentary type feel which adds to the realism. The cast is super and totally naturalistic. It's such a relief to see actors in a gay film that look like real, attractive people instead of steroid-Weho-circuit-boys. The film is all the better for it. Sure the dialogue is a bit stilted at times, but kudos to the writer/director for trying something a little different here -- and actually hitting the nail on the head in the process.

harry-76 This little scenario scripted by Quentin Lee plays like a merry-go-round. As lovers love, break up, reunite, have misgivings, rekindle, and entertain more regrets, the viewer begins to wonder just what point Lee is trying to make.A key may be the tentative nature of the title. It's also set in a town where lots of folk are in a state of flux, not really settling down after making a commitment, and forever looking for the "perfect" partner.The search, however, is as fickle as the atmosphere of the terrain itself, where the consciousness can be a jumble of mixed emotions. Unanchored attitudes prevail, reacting to the mass of humanity crowded into the region, from mid-state down to the southern border.It's not an ideal place for anyone who isn't strongly grounded in both their self worth and professional projects. The tragedy of this story is that there are no solid anchors, only driftwood floating and bobbing along uneven tides. One day wanting this, tomorrow that. Unfortunately, Mr. Lee's script rather meanders as well, and allows itself to even take a "Memento"-type turn midway through--with unprepared for flashbacks that have a strange feel. There's nothing wrong with the acting, though, and the youthful cast renders subtle and heartfelt performances.

amwarren I found Drift to be a highly unsatisfying and poorly put-together movie. I did not enjoy Drift at all. I thought that the movie was poorly written, acted and directed. I also am not a fan of the use of Digital Video to tell this story. Since D.V. is such an intimate medium, better actors and a better script are needed to make this movie successful. I appreciate anyone who has the courage and creativity to make a feature film. I applaud your effort, I just don't agree with the praise this movie has received.

steveabramson I picked up the DVD copy of "Drift" yesterday not knowing a thing about this latest entry into the gay genre. As a gay man, I constantly get frustrated by how homosexuals are not always presented as normal, but rather promiscuous and uncaring. Fortunately there have been some amazing exceptions to this rule lately - most notably "Big Eden" and "The Broken Hearts Club". "Drift" has now created a NEW sub-genre for gay films; I'm just not sure what that would be.Ryan (R.T. Lee) is a Canadian-Asian living in L.A. with his boyfriend of three years Joel (Greyson Payne). Ryan is a screenwriter who loves the horror genre. At a party the two meet the young virginal Leo (Jonathon Roessler) who is also a horror screenwriter. The two have this connection which would make them instant friends, and on the couples' third-year anniversary, Ryan leaves Joel.This is where "Drift" lives up to it's title and ends up duplicating much better independent films of the previous decade. That break-up becomes a starting point (it occurs about 20 minutes into the film) - and each of the next three twenty-minute segments starts over with that same scene and progresses quite differently (very reminiscent of the movie "Go" or "Sliding Doors").Each subsequent sequence has different relationship results utilizing the same characters. Worst, however, is with each scene, the characters (specifically Ryan) becomes more intolerable and causes one's own brain to start "drifting" towards anything else in the room.NOTE: Potential spoiler below... Please do NOT read if you don't want to know how this film ends...Ryan spews out lines like "A lot of it's in my head" and "turns out to be my own illusion". Had these lines been uttered a lot sooner, this film could have played out like an enjoyable version of "Pulp Fiction" (where the characters chat and overanalyze); but instead sends gay cinema back two steps - not for it's lack of trying, but rather for it's lack of sympathy towards the gay characters... ... especially since they keep talking about how "romantic" serial killers and suicide is. NOT the type of stereotype I feel is necessary in this day and age!
