If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

First and foremost I am a gay man, although do not live my life within the so called "Community", and it's because of films like this that Gay themed movies are not my favorite genre because 90% of them are crap. Like this one. f I could give this a zero I would. (I do not understand all the positive comments, unless they were all made by people who made this film) I actually stopped this at the 24 minute mark when the so called straight "Anthony" kissed Adam outside the restaurant for NO reason at all. And how is the son stealing from the diner if he doesn't even live in the town? Wire transfers? The acting was HORRENDOUS! The sound editing? (Listen to "Anthony" and Adam when they are sitting on the fence eating their lunch. Every time the camera switched between the two so called actors the sound changes, like there was not a filter on the microphone)Seriously do not rent, or god forbid, buy this movie.Horrible Horrible Horrible acting and just a stupid storyline.

I hardly ever post comments on this site but after watching this film at Reelpride and attending a very intense q & a this past Saturday, I thought I'd add my comments. I stayed after the Q and A and spoke to the director at the after party. Many who stayed, those who might have had a problem with the film, made their voices heard. However, I noticed when I approached the director several people who were at the Q & A told him how much they enjoyed it. I noticed those same people didn't say much during the Q & A. From what I understood, the film was projected on video because its still a work in progress. I can't wait to see the finished film projected on film. I found this film to be very intuitive, original and fun. It is without question dark and disturbing. The acting was very good. I specially liked the editing and cinematography. The sound in the theatre was poor. There were volume distortions with films shown throughout this festival. I applaud the filmmaker for his efforts and for his dark and interesting insight on life. We share the same outlook ;P. I definitely recommend this film.

This film was good because it reveals how religion sees the relationship between homosexuals and how they interact. Scriptures from the bible quoted during the movie along with judgemental attitudes that you see mainly in society these days, show the wrong approach to winning people over to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came for the people who needed to fill a void on the inside of their lives. Not to persecute, judge or criticize, but to reconcile us to the love of God. I am the body of Christ and Satan has no power over me for I overcome evil with good."I Corinthians 12:27", Romans 12:21. In the movie we see how they killed a human being who is a child of God because of the way he thought and loved. That is not the way to win people over to Cristianity. You may not agree with someones lifestyle but it did not give those guys any right to do any harm to Adam. In the movie we see how Adam suffered and was delivered from the evil ones of this present world for it was the will of God. (Galatians 1:4) We also see how Anthony overcame the death of his friend. According to God we overcome by the word of the testimony and the blood of the lamb. (Revelations 12:12) Anthony had great peace within him once he found closure to the situation. Great peace thought by God and reinforce by the friends he found during his journey.(The newlyweds) Isaiah 54:13 We also see in the film how spirits will try to overwhelm and produce fear in us but we see in Helen the spirit of God comforting her. (Psalms 23:4)

I saw this movie at a special screening in Panama. This movie is excellent because even though it is something that the Latin American public is not used to seeing it was very well received thanks to the theme of the film that everyone can relate to, the universal theme of love taken for granted. The way it was made was tasteful and non-pornographic, but it was very artistic and it showed situations that could very well happen daily. The beginning how they place the viewer from a far, and then in the climax is when the film starts to interact with the viewer is what fascinated me. After watching the movie twice, what I really loved was when in a very frightening moment, Adam scares the newlywed husband, Mark while he was sleeping making him think that his wife was being intimate with him but it was actually a ghostly encounter. It made for a very creative moment. The sound effects flawlessly followed the scary moments which were very much enhanced and riveting. The movie is made by a Panamanian director who grew up here and this is not the kind of movie we are used to watching but I applaud him for the high production values. You can see it was very well thought out and it was not just made to appease the financiers. I highly recommend this movie to all the Latin American public when it opens in theatres here in Panama and in central America for which, based on the enormous amount of press it got here it should be opening soon. I have never seen any one film get the amount of press this movie got here in Panama. The film is currently being promoted at the best cinema here in this country and I cant wait for it to open here to see the audience reaction. Another great point to this movie is that is has an awesome story. It is very original and very atypical from what you would usually see in other films.
