What to Know

Critics Consensus

Testosterone is a poorly executed attempt at film noir that follows good-looking yet bland characters through an ultimately aimless plot.

Scott Tobias AV Club Moreton shows plenty of ambition in his second feature, but somewhere in the space between page and screen, he lost the thread. Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Filled with pretty faces and empty logic, David Moreton's noir-wannabe Testosterone flounders about, doing everything but flutter its eyelashes in an attempt to distract us from its lack of substance. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 14, 2005 Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post The movie's primary interest seems to be in following several good-looking men wherever they care to meander. Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com incredibly plot-heavy yet feels light as a feather Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 1, 2005 Full Review Tom Meek Boston Phoenix Unfortunately, Testosterone isn't as provocative as its premise or its title.

Audience Member ** (out of four) Dean (David Sutcliffe) is thrown into confusion when his lover (Antonio Sabato Jr) goes oyt for some cigarettes and never returns. Dean turns depressed and is unable to handle his everyday life. Trying to bring some closure, he sets off for Argentina, hoping to find his lover and find out what really happened. Fair acting. Fair dialogue. Nothing overly memorable here. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member David Sutcliffe gives a good performance and Braga is wonderfully ice cold but the picture drags and makes little sense. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Really loved the ending. The rest of the movie... not so much Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Apart from some hot lovemaking scenes, this film was not so good. Could have been an interesting movie given the plot and characters but . . . . it sucked. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It was better the second time I saw it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Once I realized I was in the middle of one long, dark psychotic break it was a lot more fun. The plot is much tighter than first appears. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
