Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

mail-04210 Being gay myself and having seen quite a few gay- and coming out- and coming of age movies I found this film rather tedious, way too long, rather sad and without any real story, without a beginning, a middle and an end ! The supposedly straight friend Martin is a slow, not very determent , drifting aimlessly through the day type of guy-but constantly having sex with some girl or another. He seems to be a lifelong friend of of the other, guy, who is obviously gay and has a life-long crush on Martin. Both have never had any sexual encounter with each other-and then, in the last 5 minutes of this sad little,pretentious ,badly filmed "artwork" they seem to remember that -and dutifully rush through a bedscene-after which Martin, who is afraid of the beach and the water, takes a long swing in the cold, wintry wavy ocean. NO, that's NOT one of the must see gay movies.

simonpeat I can understand this movie doesn't get the best rating from the average gay movie viewer. It stays away from most gay movie clichés. There's no mentioning of anything gay scene related. There's no dancing to cheap house music in a gay disco or bar. There's no muscular actors or too pretty characters with successful high paid jobs. There's no singing of musical tunes nor is there a group of happy gay friends sharing their latest flings. There's no straight guys to be turned and no rent-boys and hustlers to be paid. There's no diseases and it doesn't end in drama. There's no acting in which inner dialogue is is being constantly expressed in words. There's no gimmicks or tricks to keep you entertained nor endless music scores on piano. There's two boys that could have been your best mates at school (when you discovered alternative music, alcohol and smoking weed) who admit to loving each other more than they dared show before. I enjoyed the natural pacing of this movie, the timeless boredom of seaside towns out of season, the frustration of family and the recognizable (big) events in the little lives of the everyday characters involved. Well done, I need more of this!

Casey59 I really enjoyed this movie. I watched it yesterday and again today. I thought it was well written, directed, and acted. Also thought the cinematography was excellent. I thought for first time, writers, directors (Filipe Matzembacher, Marcio Reolon), and actor ("Tomaz" Maurício Barcellosm) it was very good. Shot in chronological order in 30 days on a low budget indie movie. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this movie. I didn't find it long or boring, or a waste of time. I'll admit that this movie did leave some unanswered questions in my mind, but I think that was what the writer/director wanted. To leave it up to me as how to interpret the charters and plot.The ending is a little unsettling for me. The first time I watched the movie I thought Martin was trying to commit suicide. But after watching it a second time, I think he was just freeing himself from his father and his past, or at least that is what I think. Both of the main leads were very handsome and believable. I my opinion there was real chemistry between them. I'm adding this movie to my all time favorite list.I would highly recommend it.

B.g. Thomas So do you suppose there is a way for me to sue Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, the directors of this staggeringly boring movie, for my time back? This film was rambling, boring, pointless. I wondered if this even had a script and they just let the actors improvise. Nothing was solved. Nothing resolved. I finally kept fast-forwarding through it hoping that something would happen. The actors were cute and seemed to be able to act. But I certainly won't be looking out for anything by these directors again. What a waste of my time. What is it with gay movies that the creators seem to think they have to get artsy-fatsy? Straight love films have a beginning, middle and end. Why can't a gay movie?
