This Movie Is more than pretentious As I did imagine when I was watching it. And to be honest, the only good thing Director did in this film was to show the attitude of 3 Young Gay Guys trapped in the Arrogant world of drugs, selfishness, materialism and Vanity. But The white and format to try to give a classic accent was more than cheesy for me!
Also the way that classified the chapters making an analogy with the years from past 20 Century is just all over the place!
No concrete massage, not even a logical set of scenes between conversations and no story substance!

At face value, the story seems to depict gays in a negative light: characters that are arrogant, selfish, disrespectful, materialistic. There's also no conventional story arc.
However! This movie is actually a hidden gem.
What most viewers will miss is that the movie's story is actually an imitation of the history of the USA. The 3 characters represent the 3 main social socio-economic classes throughout US history: Old Wealth (Sutton), Intellectuals (Patrick) and Laborers (Frankie). The bickering through the movie represent the historical struggles between these classes.
The scenes/chapters in the movie navigate us through (and satirize) the War of Independence, the march towards the West, the Civil War, the Great Depression, WW2 and more recent events.
This script is really a work of art, optimized for viewers at the intersection of recent gay culture and US history buffs. If you're in that niche, you'll find this "American Allegory" absolutely exquisite.

I am a gay man with no talent. Just opinions.
This was a strangely satirical look at a gay trio. Living as a unit. The roles each played. Centering around a long term couple who add a younger 3rd. I have known many one nighter like this. A few with the regular weekender. Never a long term full time 3rd. The dynamic as shown in the movie can be complex. I can see how in these times it might have a better chance of success. The long term couple seemed to banter like parents talking over and around the 3rd. Frankie played by Jack Ball. Who's addition is mostly as eye candy cause the boy is very HOT. Overall the premise was there but the story arc weas all over the place. Watch it..but I think you might be disappointed.
