Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
BILLYBOY-10 A story about a breakup, heartache, confusion, pain, remorse, love, and all the emotions in-between. Very intelligent script, very good acting, directing and production values. Worth my time after watching the same old high school afraid to come out blah blah blah.
Garrett Hernandez Is it impossible for the gay community to make a gay movie that doesn't portray gay people as promiscuous, uneducated, drug-addicted, alcoholics who cannot have a successful relationship? Apparently not. This is just another example of gay people actually advancing negative stereotypes by actually portraying all the gay people in their movie as that stereotype. Gay people are successful lawyers, doctors, and parents. Is that too boring for your movie or doesn't it portray enough of a struggle? The only things the characters in this movie think about are getting drunk, getting high or cheating. Is this supposed to make non-gay people more sympathetic to those different then them, or to re-enforce their already bigoted views? It's embarrassing that you don't even stand up for yourself.
zif ofoz But not an altogether bad movie!Here we have Kurt & Paul who seem to have developed a life together successfully but from the start the viewer is aware of a tension in the relationship. Kurt sells drugs and Paul seems distant and depressed. Things come to a head when Paul suspects Kurt is 'seeing another'! All the while the background story is there's a serial killer somewhere in the city.Paul wants a simpler domestic life while Kurt want to go party. You know the relationship is doomed. And at movies end you don't really know if these to actually get back together but a murder brings them back together - if only momentarily.It's a good story but some of the acting is lacking and the plot gets repetitious at one point.
Tom Dooley This indie, gay based drama has been compared to Brit, indie hit 'Weekend'. I can see the comparisons but actually found this to be a better story. It is about two men Paul and Kurt, the film starts out with them meeting at a party and it is clear that they are somewhat 'estranged'; we then go back seven months to when their love was clearly 'in bloom' and find out how they got to this stage. Whilst Paul worked in a supermarket to pay the bills, Kurt was a drug dealer and got to meet a lot of laid back people – some might say too laid back. A chance encounter then starts the clock ticking on the road to separation. We also have a back story of a serial killer who is targeting lone men. What we then have is the painful deterioration of the two lovers relationship and I have to sat it was done completely convincingly. Things never just end and this was like watching nails being hammered into the coffin of their shared love.I found this completely absorbing even though it was far from being a 'feel good' movie. Quite the contrary; it dealt with an aspect of relationships that is all too often ignored and that is the breakdown. Director Chris Michael-Birkmeier has made a very good film and has also got two excellent performances from his leading men Kyle Wigent as Kurt and Tanner Rittenhouse as Paul – both of them virtual unknowns but both showing great ability. Not a bedroom fest more a study of a relationship past its best and if you are up for a challenging, intelligent and very human story then you could do a lot worse than giving this one a chance – recommended.
