w r 06/02/2022 OK but very disjointed. See more tom m 05/09/2022 Entertaining. A well told, heartwarming story. See more 09/25/2020 I am a big fan of LGBTQ cinema and was eager to give this a watch due to recent positive reviews. However, this movie is poorly acted and executed. I did finish it all although at times it was a struggle because it feels much longer than it's actual run time. Very disappointing. See more 09/25/2020 As a gay man myself I was interested in watching this movie because I heard it was supposed to challenge gay stereotypes often presented in movies. However, it turned out to be a movie super full of itself for thinking it was busting gay stereotypes while adhering to plenty and patting itself on the back for thinking it's not. It's a privileged-attractive cisgender white gay man's version of "breaking stereotypes". I even read an interview with one of the stars Chris Ball about how his boyfriend advised him not to get in-shape for the role because not all gays needed to have abs. Mister Ball is clearly in-shape compared to your average person and if he thinks not having a complete six pack but otherwise still being an in-shape conventionally attractive gay man is in someway breaking stereotypes, it truly shows how privileged his background is and homogeneous the nature of his social circle must be. There is nothing wrong with being in shape, but the fact he thinks he is making a statement by simply not having abs is somehow groundbreaking is really sad and tone deaf. This seems to be a movie you would really enjoy if you are part of one of those all white homogeneous gay social circles, but probably won't enjoy otherwise. See more Read all reviews
