Ben Turner The Pink Lens 09/02/2021
4/5
Plot-wise, this is one of those films where not a lot really happens, but the inordinate quantities of sexual tensions in the will-they/won't-they relationship-tease is enough to make it feel a lot pacier than it actually is. Go to Full Review
Alexander Ryll Gay Essential 09/15/2019
3/5
This is a significant film in today's landscape of overbearing heteronormativity as it deals with the rather delicate topic of being comfortable as a gay man without having to give disclaimers or explanations. Go to Full Review
Gary M. Kramer San Francisco Bay Times 11/18/2017
Taekwondo is a leisurely-paced film that lets viewers bask in its hazy homoeroticism....anyone who succumbs to the film's sensual rhythms, it will be a stimulating experience. Go to Full Review
Diego Batlle Otroscines.com 08/18/2016
It naturally describes a world of male codes, overacted manliness and permanent sexual tension. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

paul r @Pauly12 Dec 18 a beautiful tender love story full of yearning and longing set in glorious warmth and sunshine of an Argentinian summer. Nothing rushed and long lingering shots . See more Garry A @heavyg Apr 23 If you like a large group of beautiful straight men comfortable enough to be nude and intimate with each other then this movie will appeal to you. I found the understated sexual tension arousing. The dialog isn't very interesting and it's too long. The appeal of this movie is strictly visual. See more pato g 06/11/2023 De lo mejorcito del director, bien planteado, con una trama sencilla pero demostrando las tensiones y rivalidades de un grupo de amigos, con final excelente y conclusivo. See more Martin M 05/13/2023 An exquisitely possibly even uncomfortably slowly unfolding story. A worthy exploration of masculinity! See more Johann D. M @Johann33 10/04/2020 Un hombre invita a su compañero de taekwondo a un paseo con sus amigos que son todos hombres. La tensión sexual que despierta esta película en toda su duración entre ambos es tanta que a veces es desesperante que ninguno de los dos se atreva a hacer nada. El hecho de que solo obtuvimos 2 minutos de satisfacción al final es algo decepcionante. Hay más acción entre los heterosexuales que la relación más relevante de la película. Necesitaba 20 minutos más de desarrollo al menos. See more 09/12/2020 Summer, Latin boys, shorts, skin, swim trunks, hunks, nudity, Fatso, and a sweet love story.
