All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A couple in a long term commitment engage a younger man to spice up their sex life with a threesome. The movie begins with extended scenes of the couple's initial courtship with the other man via web chat and webcam. Though the scenes are a realistic portrayal of dating in the internet age (through lengthy typed conversations and waiting with bated breath for any sign of life on the other side), they are drawn out and could have been edited to lighten the pace of the film.Despite the slow start, the remainder of the film is pleasurably paced as we watch them transcend initial awkwardness and intimacy grow through shared stories around the dinner table.The eventual love scene is intense and extremely erotic, and much more than another casual encounter via the internet. The interaction between the actors is extremely well done and realistic. See here for great example of movie sex scenes, add extra points for three parties!

The South Americans seem to have staked out very special territory in gay film: atmospheric and erotic - films that explore the many variations in homo-eroticism and sexuality and the lives of gay men with great subtlety. Much like my other favourites from Argentina (Hawaii, Plan B, Absent), Chile (In the Gray Scale), Urguguay (Leo's Room), Brazil (From Beginning to End), the pace here is slow and the story focuses on courtship and play as much as capture (or the potential of capture). What animates, inhibits, and satisfies gay sexuality is often the subject in these films and sometimes, as in this, it enacts those satisfactions.This is a beautiful and very sexy film (in its second half) about a young college student hooking up with an older couple, and it takes the viewer much deeper into the feelings, expectations and fears of all three characters and is touching as well as very realistic to me. But the filmmaker is also a bit too clever for dramatic good: the first 20-30 mins (much too long) consists of small, difficult to see screen shots of the characters meeting and teasing online in a chat room - it's best to skip forward after a few minutes of this to the arrival of Fede, the younger "third one", at the home of Hernán and Franco. The latter are two 30-something men who've been together for 8 years - obviously they've a loving relationship, but it's gone a bit flat, esp sexually it seems. This is all marvelously (but very slowly) revealed in conversation at dinner before the anticipated sex, as are many touching and dramatically useful details of Fede's life. The film is relatively short, just over an hour, but that's still at least 20 minutes more than is essential: I found myself going back to about 35-40 minutes into the film savour over again the dinner's verbal foreplay and the intimate sexual encounter at the heart of the film.This dinner conversation itself is marvelously well acted, as is the threesome that follows, the actors so full of pleasuring and delight once they've broken their reserve that I felt much of the same delight. The revelations, hesitations, and rapport that develop over dinner adds a distinctive depth, and eroticism, to the sex and the film overall. The actors' fine eye expressions, side- glances, hesitations, are all captured by the director.Technically, there is a period after the dinner scene where subtitles, set against a yellow background, become difficult to read for about 5 minutes - no big deal, but as with the excess of exposition at the beginning (and resolution at the very end) this and the film require a little patience (and/or finger on the remote). But that said, it's a very satisfying film on most every level.

This is a nice movie which sheds light on the life of a gay couple. I personally find the 20-minute dialogue between the three actors the highlight of the movie. It's taken in two long shots, 10 minutes per shot. The conversation really provides a glimpse into the life of a gay couple. I particularly like how the conversation is so natural and spontaneous that it is like being taken from a genuine conversation. In terms of dialogue, I think it's just as good as "Weekend" (2011), which has been praised for its natural and genuine dialogue between the two male leads. The nervousness displayed by the male lead Fede is also praiseworthy. His visible nervousness adds layers of depth to the character and shows how nervous one can be before a hook-up. However, I have to say there are several parts of the movie that I don't really like. First, the 20-minute chat room scene is REALLY unnecessary. The conversation is SO ordinary that it adds nothing to the movie. If you haven't watched the movie yet, I suggest you to skip that part because the movie works just fine with that scene. My other complaint is that the sex scene is almost awkward to watch. It's difficult to endure a one-shot intimate scene in which you only get to see the actors' face and chest. What's the point? Either cut it short or let the audience sees everything! Well, probably not the latter, as the sex is poorly simulated. I wonder if any of the actors gets a hard-on during the scene - it'd be pretty embarrassing! The summary of the movie says the male lead Fede "has changed after the night", which I do not find to be the case. Not much growth is shown at the end of the movie, except that the audience catches him enjoying last night's memories, as if he has learnt something from it. The biggest problem of the movie is that it doesn't really have a clear focus. It's not focusing on a romantic relationship, or a person's growth, or a really good sex. At the end of the movie, I don't really know what the movie wants to represent. The 20-minute dialogue is the only part that I find meaningful and can provoke thoughts on the life of a gay couple. Besides that, I fail to see how the movie works. It's still worth a watch, but only if you can endure a sex scene that's almost too awkward to watch.

Plot Spoiler Alert!! This is an Argentinean film about a threesome. Sorry that might be a bit of a plot spoiler as so little actually happens here. Two guys who are in a relationship do some on line smut exchanges with a young lad and he comes over and they have a meal, some wine, talk about themselves and then get it on.That is it and even at seventy minutes this still dragged. It begs the question why did they bother making it. There are scenes of graphic sex at the beginning but then the production limitations start to bite; there is only ever one fixed camera angle. There is no music, there is no point.I can not recommend anyone to see this at all, if you like porn, then there are better ones out there, if you want a relationship drama, then there are loads to chose from and if you want a film that goes nowhere very slowly then there are better ones than this too. It is not the worst piece of film making I have ever seen it is just the least ambitious, and in the total sum of cinema only has a place as an exemplar of what not to make a film into.
