Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Armand Love like ambiguous experience. A new story about another Dorian Gray and the price of passion. Betrayal and dangerous game, traps and forms of propriety, soft lies and subtle temptations.A story about the value of truth and the burden of gestures. A beautiful film about human relationship nuances. The gay love is only excuse for deep exploration of feelings and their metamorphosis. Tim Cornish must be a victim for his perfect life, his beauty and success. In his passion for Ivo is not the mark of special sin but the shadow of old Greek anenke. Isabela is a lure but, in same time, the best instrument to understand his existence's sense. And Ivo, the fascinating Ivo, subtle spider of beginning, final victim of Tim's deep guilt, he is Gray's portrait. Tim must be himself and the price is never huge.A beautiful movie about the life's nooks.

AlanLight-2 I stumbled across this excellent movie on late-night Canadian television, and I was simply blown away. I'm so glad I was able to record it because I learned later it has only rarely been shown in Canada, has never been shown on TV or anywhere in America, is not on DVD or VHS, and not likely to be released in those formats either. I showed this film to a friend of mine who is involved in the movie industry and he was so impressed he contacted the producers to try to buy the rights to release it on the film festival circuit and then put it out on DVD and he gave up because they showed absolutely zero interest in it. I fear this is one superb movie destined to be seen by very few people, which is a shame. It is among the very best gay-themed films I have ever seen. Based upon a mystery novel, it has many unpredictable twists and turns, is beautifully and professionally photographed, and the acting is great. It leaves you on the edge of your seat.

zu20 POSSIBLE PLOT SPOILERS? I very nearly didn't watch, this but in the end I'm very glad I did, I was enthralled from the beginning to the end. Tim Cornish who was surprisingly well acted by Lee Williams - who I'd last seen in a fairly awful Beatles film is a fairly shallow but gorgeous, (well Williams is a bit too pretty for my likes but anyway!) university student who becomes attracted to a male university professor called Ivo Steadman. This attraction though initially obsessive in time reveals itself to be shallow because it evaporates when Ivo admits he loves Tim because the sense of mystery is gone. This leads Tim into the arms of a woman called Isabel and to the decision that he must get out of his relationship with Ivo in any way he can even if that means killing him. The acting especially from Marc Warren who is sublime as Ivo is what really made this special and all in all this is a good adaptation of a wonderful Barbara Vine book.In fact i can't speak too highly of Warren the sarcasm and the melancholy but also the great hopeless affection for Tim the way he loves him despite all he has done are all transported perfectly from the book to this teleplay. i guess that was down to a really good bit of casting. All in all i can't say anything more than i thought it was very good well adapted - (yes I read the book - in 2 days i might add) - that's how good it was! and well acted.

hedgehoglover This film explores, then examines, the nature and presence of love but does not attempt to explain it. That is the hallmark of its success.From the opening sequence through the rolling credits, we are invited to believe that although gender and jealousy may present obstacles to true love, they will never defeat it. It is an invitation we cannot refuse.The plot for all its reliance on coincidence and remote possibility, serves to remind us that true love may be easy to recognize but difficult to find, in a world of increasing cynicism and heartbreak.Moreover, it encourages us to accept that the experience of true love defies logic and analysis but rather should be savored, for love, like life, is transient - in the face of time and changing circumstance.Most memorable line: `I love you, my adorable hedgehog. Never not.'
