A poorly crafted grab-bag of ideas barely elaborated upon enough to sustain a 20-minute short.

When a movie aspires to be gay pornography but can't even manage that, well, you know you've got a bad movie.

Rated: 1/5

Is Leo schizophrenic? Did he kill his ex-wife? Did he have an ex-wife? Did he kill Teddy? Is Teddy dead? Who knows, and frankly, who cares?

Artful and intriguing, but ultimately difficult to connect with

One would like to say that gay indies are better than ever, but then something like Sun Kissed comes along and drags the whole shebang down to rock bottom again.

This movie, if one could truly call it that, was a hot mess. A total waste of time.

WTF? Not certain if the filmmaker is aspiring to be Ingmar Bergman or simply has no idea how to write a script. At any rate, the results are a mess. I'll never get this 90 minutes back again!

messy is quite possibly the best way to describe this film. both good and bad... but once you see past that...there's a lot to enjoy here, or at the very least appreciate.

Des images esthÃ (C)tiquement correctes mais une intrigue qui traÃ (R)ne en longueur pour au final n'Ãªtre pas des plus complexes ni intÃ (C)ressante.

Even modest production and some really weak acting can't really cripple this David Lynch -style erotic thriller. It's dreamlike, odd, compelling and challenges the viewer with a really cool broken structure. A film that makes you want to see it many times over, and after a few viewings I cas say that it has enough mystery and subtle themes to offer new substance for those times.

This movie is extremely complicated implementing multiple time shifts and a lot of mystery. The line delivery could use some work; this is obviously a low-budget film. However, the story line is intense and observes the multiple pesonalitities of a tormented personality. Coming out is hard!!! A lot of people can't get over feeling like being gay is a bad thing, and when their parents refuse to accept that, it makes it even more difficult for these people. Check out this film. Get over the poor quality of filming and just experience the storyline. Veeeery interesting...
