I know this is a low rating... But I really had no choice and honest is the best way.
Right off the bat, the low-budget became apparent by the sub-par visual and sound design. The sound was scratchy and echoey, mostly in interior locations and at times the actor's voices were not even audible. But visually, it just flat out ugly. The entire film had a thick layer of digital grain accompanied by blank white walls and out-of-focus close ups that made the entire picture look like it was shot by a 1st year cinematography student.
But then came the acting and writing, both of which left much to be desired as many of the actors were stiff and unrealistic when reading lines. Most of the dialog meandered and the actors just sort of kept talking, but about nothing interesting in particular. And then the characters and "story" came into play. The story was two men falling in love, and in the midst they... walk and talk... and, walk and talk some more for over an hour. Then visit a war vet and sit and talk for 20 minutes with him. A character who served nothing to the story what so ever other than provide the two weed and... stories. That's IT.
I didn't care for a single character in the whole movie. The two leads had zero chemistry with each other. I could tell that neither of them were actually gay because their kisses with each other felt forced and sometimes even straight up awkward. The part that shocked me the most was in the woods, after they had just got done peeing... They decide to blow each other.... So they literally blew each other RIGHT after peeing. The rest of the day they were talking around with pee/man gravy breath. Did no one see how unintentionally hilarious that was!?
I congratulate the filmmakers for making an entire feature. But still, this was an entire waste of time. I hope their next movie will be better.
