Pretty good. Could have been better.
3 June 2023
The two leads in a (mostly?) gay rugby organization topple into an affair outside of each of their current relationships without disclosing this to their partners. It starts out as lust and becomes love, but love for each other, their partners, teammates, and the sport are all on the line.

Don't look for hard answers in this lengthy film that could have been trimmed just a little here and there. The leads and background actors are engaging and interesting. The scenes of the actual games were less interesting to me than the relationship.

It's a breath of fresh air to see gay guys in a love story, flawed as we are. This movie is a decent portrayal and neither sugar-coats nor vilifies gay men. The scenes with the parents are amazing.

I wanted the movie to be better. It's definitely worth seeing. I wanted a little more, including a more satisfying ending.
