10/27/2015 A story of decadent, infantile, listless, boring, young(ish) white people in (generic) North America--not decadent, etc. because of their variable sexuality, but because they do nothing in their (plentiful) free time but explore their sexuality. But then it is the story of a group of sexually-connected people under threat. (Bonus half-star for being secretly Edmontonian.) See more 01/15/2014 One of those films that's eluded me ever since I first saw it back in the VHS days, so I was happy to finally track it down on DVD from what I recall being one of those Warner Archives sales. It holds up well, with a couple of friends navigating the unsteady waters of dating in the '90s in an unnamed metropolitan area of Canada, where a serial killer is also taking victims. Well worth a rental if you get the chance. See more 09/18/2011 "Love" is what cynical Thomas Gibson seeks even if he keeps everyone at bay. His roommate Ruth Marshall, effectively plays a woman confused by her love for ex lover, unrequited love by a lesbain, and her attraction to a lying yuppie. Into the mix is Matthew Ferguson as a 17-year-old fan infatuated with Gibson, Mia Krishner as a pyschic call girl, and Cameron Bancroft as Gibson's childhood friend. His BFF now has the AIDS virus. We're faced with enough characters and issues to fill a tv soap opera. "Human Remains" are victims of a serial killer in Canada, who inexplicably rips off their earrings. This is really an unnecessary subplot since the main characters either ignore or don't pay attention to the news of the killings. It seems to mean that heterosexuals are just as fucked and facing death like homosexuals. The identity of the killer and outcome is anti-climactic. What saves the movie are the performances of Gibson and Marshall, the witty dialogue, and good photography of Montreal. See more 07/15/2011 The script is a bit of a mess and some of the peformances are terrible, but this Canadian import is still a totally engaging and memorable trip down the 90's indie lane. See more 04/22/2010 I saw this when i was like 8 years old and liked it back then, re-watched it now (im 21) and i really enjoyed it. Very 90's feel to the flick and the acting is top notch. Highly recommended. See more 04/15/2010 Disjointed and eclectic, but enjoyable collection of singlehood and kink. Has stagy elements that better suited this as a play. See more Read all reviews
