Straight guys fantasy

[florencemafm · 1/10 · 3 February 2019]

This movie feels like it's been made by straight people thinking they know what being gay is like. Also, the "lesbian" character just feels straight the whole time. There's sexist undertone too. Overall, it's just super disappointing.

What?

This falls flat on so many levels it is impossible to recount. There isn't even any redemption to save the poor dialogue and completely ridiculous scenario. There is no connection between any of the main characters and it is palpable throughout. You could almost make a case that the two love interests had some chemistry except for the fact that real people do not force such immediate fake intimacy and are much more circumspect and careful. I think it is great that indie films are making huge inroads and I want to see more of them. This project is not worthy, mostly due to poor lines, lack of empathy, and bad direction. The idea is sound enough, the portrayal.... Abyssmal.

Good indie film

For what it is, an independent drama, this film works really well. A promising start to the careers of all involved.

I watched this film knowing it was not high budget . If you look at as a smaller endeavor without "A" List actors and just focus on what it is you will not be disappointed. Also it's on prime video so it is priced well....
