This film (like its main character) doesn't know what it wants to be. Too grainy for good porn. Too full of plot holes to be much else.
To give it more credit than it deserves, this is the story of a young man who's an aspiring actor but is hopelessly addicted to his junkie user of a boyfriend.
There's plenty of out of focus, low grade footage of simulated sex but the low grade quality of the writing and the poor film making rob what story there is of any interest.
I cared nothing for the theater rehearsal scenes. The co-directors, the other actors, and the play that they were rehearsing was uninteresting and wasn't anything I cared to see.
One example of the plot holes that made NO sense to me involved the druggie boyfriend taking a shower after sleeping with his boyfriend and another boy that the druggie had invited over. When the boyfriend tries to talk to the druggie boyfriend who's locked himself in the bathroom we hear the shower running and see the actor boyfriend get a key and unlock the bathroom door only to discover that the shower is empty and the druggie boyfriend has disappeared leaving the shower running. One might wonder how druggie boyfriend got out of a locked bathroom (if one cared). But at that point I no longer did.
While 40 some viewers have so far rated this film a 2.7 I've given it 3 stars. The one besetting sin that this film avoids that allows me to give it even this high a score is the absence of cringe-worthy dialogue and plastic sincerity.
The actors who get the most screen time are nice looking young men and they appear to be what they are acting for the most part so this doesn't have the icky feel of some other overly sincere gay films.
However, while the thought of viewing this film again doesn't fill me with pain, as some other very bad attempts at gay film do; I've absolutely no desire to see THIS again.
