Two men begin a romantic relationship in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Although deliberately paced and a bit repetitive, the movie contains many lovely subtleties and two superb, swoony lead turns that keep us invested.

Gay City News

Poignant, erotic, and quietly powerful.... Marco Berger masterfully captures the heightened sexual tension between two men in a film that is both exquisite and excruciating.

There are times when the film suffers a little from Inactivity Syndrome, but there is so much tension (both sexual and dramatic) between the pair that you can forgive it sometimes dragging its feet.

Rated: 4/5

The News Lens International

The script doesn't break much narrative ground, but the two leads have such screen presence that we find ourselves engrossed.

Film Threat

This may not be a film that advertises itself as important, in short, but its sensitivity and perceptiveness will leave a lasting impression.

Differentiating this tale of 2 guys searching for completeness within each other-besides its several unexpected twists and its Argentinian take on homophobia-is the stellar acting by Re, and Barón, plus the finesse of the production.

The first half hour was the highlight of this film. The sexual tension was crazy good. The actors communicate alot without saying a thing. I got frustrated with the dark haired one's selfish behavior. He wanted it all and the blonde one made all the sacrifices.

Poignant, slow simmering the sexual tension is palpable. I personally loved it and watched it twice. The acting is great. Beware it is a slow burn but ultimately so rewarding. I felt the erotic sensuality throughout the film, one of the better gay themed films. Both actors are amazing!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Sweet, delicate, anchored in everyday life, in settings far from glamorous, lies a love story between two men or shall I say between a man and a twat. The blond one is sweet and innocent, simple and with a big, loving heart. He takes what love brings without the drama, without argument, constantly full of hope, putting love above disappointments. Another story needed to be told to show that being gay is not simple and full of compromises, even now.

This was a solid intriguing movie that shows the reality that many gay men are confronted with. It's realistic, is not focused on pleasing the audience, but instead depicting a situation. However, it seems the focus was on the audience to put certain parts together and the story line is a bit disappointing. I would have appreciated more dialogue.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
