Featured review
Unpleasant film leaves a bitter aftertaste
SMEAR
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Sound format: Mono
(Short film)
A teenage boy (Marc Fratello) is consumed with jealousy when his beloved best buddy (Steven Amato) acquires a girlfriend (Liat Goldman).
Aggravating little film in which Fratello is forced to confront his true feelings for Amato when their friendship is threatened by the latter's burgeoning heterosexuality, culminating in a monstrous 'queer-bashing' incident against a guy whom Fratello had earlier been studying from afar. As written, Fratello's character is little more than a self-loathing closet-case whose raging hormones lead to all manner of unpleasant complications, to the dismay of everyone around him. Sam Zalutsky's disappointing film is professional in all respects, but it hasn't got anything remotely positive to say about the 'gay experience'. The final scenes are particularly unappetizing.
