07/29/2012 A little too earnest, without a satisfying conclusion. More of a character piece than an actual film with plot. See more 04/07/2012 Subtle & Restrained... See more 12/20/2009 Good story telling, along with the above-average act delivered by the actors and actresses. See more 04/02/2009 A genuinely moving and wisely unsentimental drama. See more 01/28/2009 Confronting and touching. Two friends – Charlie and Anna – have nursed their dying friend Gavin over the last 18 months. Gavin’s wish is to be euthanised, but a bungle leads to Charlie finishing the job in front of a shocked audience of family and friends. In the aftermath of Gavin’s death, the two friends fall apart and pull themselves back together slowly through a series of difficult encounters – arguments, drugs, affairs, parties – a way to numb the guilt and pain and hurt and loss without facing it or each other. This is not a comfortable film to watch, from the rasping rattle of Gavin’s last moments (the scene where they wait for him to die is terribly effective - as long and agonising for the audience as his loved ones) to Charlie’s disintegrating relationship with his careless lover to Anna’s affair with Gavin’s married younger brother; amoral lives, but they are still recognisably human and lost in the grief. See more 10/05/2008 Talk about boring. The film tried to show how realistic and sad things are after the death of a friend, but forgot to make us care about any of the people involved first. The result? We watch a bunch of moping idiots go to gay raves. The end. See more Read all reviews
