A new client (Patrick Bauchau) breaks down a male hustler's (Derek Magyar) emotional walls.

Critics Consensus

Eloquent one-liners and quick pacing make Boy Culture sharper than the typical gay indie flick.

Actor Derek Magyar makes an impressive feature debut in this somber video drama about a financially savvy but emotionally distant male escort.

If anything about this scenario sounds remotely interesting, it's not.

2.5/4

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.

A traditional vapid romantic comedy.

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.

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!

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

I'm biased, but I continue to think they did a marvelous job adapting from the 1995 novel of the same title.

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.
