I wasn't as satisfied as some of the reviewers seem to be. See, the film had potential to explore subjects, but felt a bit shallow in exploring the gay theme. It didn't delve into any of the issue, but rather dealt with the main character's struggle on coming out, and how little guilt he felt when his lover died.
The main character was not relatable, therefore I spent the movie wondering why he wasn't the one who died. Santiago was such a marvelous character, and rather than exploring his point of view, we were left to empathize with a selfish, one dimensional character. I just wasn't able to feel his pain at all, because he only thought of himself throughout the whole picture, and the end wasn't enough to undo all the wrongs, here.
