View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreFirst of all I will start by saying that I have seen hundreds of gay themed films. There are the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will admit that I do tend to gravitate towards these films and generally enjoying the effort they make in one way or another. This one has all the elements it needs to be an excellent movie in the gay cinema genre. Basically the movie is boy meets boy, both boys fell instantly in love, one boy is willing to try to make it work when things go wrong while the other boy just wants to give up. Will the hopeless romantic be able to convince the other to keep trying? I urge you to watch this and find out. The performances, the music, and despite what other people say the dialogue are all stellar. This movie definitely falls in the top 10% of gay cinema hence that is why I gave it 10 stars. It may not be a 10 star movie compared to big budget films with top stars however in the gay cinema genre it deserves that rating.
View MoreI've read much of the comments here, those long and boring essays people write. In my comment I will try to be brief, short as possible. So, I will begin.When I saw this movie I was like..."awesome", "great"... and things like that were going again and again through my mind. I think the movie was well done, the colors (the use of symbolic colors like gray, strong red...), the development (use of flashbacks, shuffled scenes...). But what I didn't like was the end. I've seen a lot of dramatic-gay films and I think it was just another "of those ones". When I say "of those ones" I talk about gay dramas that end in death. When I began watching the film I though it was going to be different; but not, it was the same sketch, the same diagram that seem to have most of gay dramas.I've heard people saying that "gay relationships end in tragedy" and I detest when people say this, and when I see this on gay movies. It would be better to have some gay dramas with less tragic ends, it would be better to have some happy endings, we have to show people that gays can "survive" on relations like most of heterosexuals do. It would be better for this movie to have a happy ending... like for example... Kyle at hospital recovering from the accident...or something like that... But that scene of Kyle laying on the floor... losing his life... and Marcel crying at the apartment...I think it was lame...I think it was more of the same... I think the end was not original.
View Morewell, i do watch a lot of gay movies and a lot of them are awful. i mean, really awful. so... i had absolutely no expectation that this movie is gonna be good. and... of course this movie wasn't superb. but... hey, this movie wasn't so bad. this movie was much better than now classic gay movie latter days. i felt the hatred feeling towards each other, obsession, jealousy are genuine. i went through those things. didn't you? and two of the songs that featured are pretty good (especially the first one played during the opening title) there are bad things. cheesy dialog, over-used yellow filter, stupid slow motion... but i didn't fast-forward a bit. if you love gay films (for just guilty pleasure), watch this, rather than latter days or velocity of gary.
View MoreI see that some people thought this was an awful movie, but I must disagree.For me, a movie is good when it doesn't let you drift into thoughts like "wait... that's a mistake in the movie" or "argh.. that was poorly acted"... or even better "that's an unrealistic situation...".The actors were splendid. The story was sad, yet it convinced me. The situation was a possible situation, and the character's actions and reactions don't seem to me like a movie script, but rather like something that could happen to real people. So, I think this was a good movie... I gave it 9 stars because it made me feel sad... but I won't tell you why.... watch the movie and decide for yourselves whether you like it or not...
