Slight, but refreshing
22 June 2023
A good looking tiny film that is well directed and acted, but it is very slight. One of things I did like about this movie is that while it is eventually a budding gay love story, none of that is a part of this film for a long time. It's sort of refreshing to watch a film about gay people that is not the focal point in the story as it is in so many gay oriented films. Also, while there is some unhappiness here due to a relative dying, the film's catalyst, this is not about gay men suffering due to being gay, ill or dying, common threads in films about gay people. The two leads, Vasilis Magouliotis & Anton Weil, do well as two strangers on a road trip who don't really get along all that well for the longest time, but eventually things change, though I found one to be as annoying as his ride partner also does. I've been watching a lot of gay oriented films lately due to some free streaming. Most have been very weak and monotonous and this is nothing terribly special, but I did like it a bit when all is said and done.
