Haven't seen many comments from Gay asylum members here so let me chime in. The relationship tension is 'spot on' I know, I've lived this life. To be always denied the right to commit to a relationship and to have your lover 'hung up' on conforming to a hetero stereotype is painful. This film made me cry as it struck home deeply. If you are straight I don't think you pick up on the subtle clues expressed between the characters. What stares out from the screen is the needs of these two guys are differrent. One wants love and the other sex. I know this is simplyfying matters however it is often these two elements that drive relationships apart.This movie was made by someone who knows how a gay mind works!
Simply beautiful.
