That was an excellent one.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A contemporary view of gay men struggling to define what real is - for themselves, their love relationships and their career. This is a story about a protagonist who is having a hard time reconciling with his life choices that form a symmetrical pattern with his art and his relationships - both lead to his restlessness and dilemma of giving up what might actually be important. I won't say much as I don't want to spoil but the fact there are gratuitous scenes of sex in this movie actually, in my opinion, reflects the boldness of the director to take on the subject head on. Of course there is easy sex available in the life of the character and that reflects the dilemma of the main character. Male genitalia and orgasm in a movie about a gay man in Sf - and what's wrong with that? The supporting cast is amazing in their realistic performances. It's shot almost in a documentary style and that lends a credibility to the whole aspect of story telling.Finally a movie that does not wrap up a story of gay humans in a neatly predictable package and serve it to us. Of course there can be improvements and yada yada but in 2012 this is a movie about an artist searching for his meaning of life. And he is gay. And he is in Sf. So prudes you've been warned.Oh and as far the story being meaningless, no plot etc is concerned, we could have had a more dramatic fleshing out of what the existential crisis is but I don't feel it needs further explanation. But that's only my opinion. Whatever. Watch it.

I knew going into this film that the sex was unsimulated, so that wasn't a surprise. What was a complete surprise is how artistic the film is. The dialogue, cinematography, and simple music definitely evoked the same feelings an indie film do. I thought the acting was very natural, and the dialogue as well. I can understand why general reviewers don't feel much of a plot, or that the plot is murky, or unfulfilling. It doesn't have a definite end. Some have commented on the plethora of sex scenes during the party, but it wasn't until the credits rolled at the sudden ending that it made sense. The first and last sexual encounters involve our protagonist, and neither time does he reach climax, or even end up feeling satisfied at all. I feel the part scenes serve to highlight the fact that everyone around him is engaging in normal human nature, but for some reason he can't relate to that. The fact that he is excited to go home, to a place where he won't be living in a gay mecca surrounded by flamboyancy, combined with some of his prior dialogue, says to me that he's lived that exciting life, and now he wants something more, something deeper. The conversations he is involved with are of a more serious, introspective nature, while the conversations around him are completely superficial. To me, this movie perfectly shows what it's like to go from the young party life to wanting something more, but not at all sure what that is or how to seek it.

Pretentious!!! This beautifully shot bucket of animal muck screams pretentious from afar. I should have seen it from a mile. Shame on me.Puh-leeeese - graphic sex scenes? Close ups, shots of happy endings, full on anal, interracial hook-ups? Come oh-n, gurl! Can we have some substance in a form different than body fluids?Pseudo-philosophical ramblings, cool performance art kids, talking, talking, talking... On top of that the cast is purposefully unattractive, I'm going soft just at a sheer thought of their appearance. It's not even a mixed bag, they're all fugly hands down.Plus the obligatory, early morning goodbye scene... and too-cool, hipster indie music. No, I'm not having it, nah, never. The director will most likely end up like the protagonist. Going back to his mum's basement flat or a cabin in the woods. To live with the deer.

If you like porn with a plot -- I do! -- then take a look at this movie. I was expecting an NC17 kind of movie, but when you include cum shots, sorry in my book that crosses over to porn. In that category, it might have been a 6 or 7 except for one small problem.I am a typical American in very few ways, but I really, really, really do not like point in time stories with no beginning, climax or end. I think of this as a European / International genre. I always feel cheated because just when I am engaging with the characters -- oops its over.Now, if you like this type of story and you also like porn with a plot, this movie will probably "WOW" you...My rating system: 10-The Perfect Movie 9-I will watch it over and over again 8-Ther is something special about this movie 7-Well above average 6-slightly better than average 5-Average Movie (Worth Watching!) 4-Slightly Blow Average 3-Boring / Well Below Average 2-So Bad I Got Up and Walked Out 1-I cannot imagine anyone liking this movie
