Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Actor Derek Magyar makes an impressive feature debut in this somber video drama about a financially savvy but emotionally distant male escort. Feb 7, 2014 Full Review Jonathan Padget Washington Post If anything about this scenario sounds remotely interesting, it's not. Feb 7, 2014 Full Review Jason Anderson Globe and Mail Boy Culture is an undemanding but sufficiently engaging serving of smut and sentiment. As such, it reclaims territory that queer cinema has largely ceded to TV shows like Queer as Folk, The L Word and Six Feet Under. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 6, 2007 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix A traditional vapid romantic comedy. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 23, 2009 Full Review Kevin Williamson Jam! Movies Audiences outside gay cinema will, frankly, probably find it too callow to emotionally invest in. However, for those who do see it, they will likely be surprised, and entertained, by its arch insights and near-camp bearing. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 6, 2007 Full Review David Elliott San Diego Union-Tribune Seattle locales, some spry lines and tiny soundings of depth still leave us in the conceptual grip of 'love' as a system of endless bartering and vanity, with impulsive copulation treated as consecration. Oh, boy. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 18, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

A C Loved Boy Culture!! Great cast and the writing was so good!! A great story and mix of romance, fun, humor and heart!! Thanks for an enjoyable film 🤍🤍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Philip P Smart and funny with wonderful performances. Surprisingly moving as the lead character learns from an older gay man the value of taking emotional risks in both life and love. Sexy too! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty entertaining and very fluffy. Some interesting ideas and a few scenes were chuckle-worthy. I found it a bit cheesy at times especially the end but there were some things I really related to and it was just a cute movie. I can't complain. 2.5/5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A great indie gay flick. Great performances, hot guys, beautiful chemestry, entertaining, and a great story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm biased, but I continue to think they did a marvelous job adapting from the 1995 novel of the same title. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A male prostitutes narrates his life of complicated relationships. None of the characters were likable nor did the plot interest me, it is essentially a low budget soft core porn. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
