Reviewing Movies

In Gay Literature and Film there are several recurrent themes. There’s coming of age and realizing I’m gay and knowing I’m gay and fearing to come out to my parents and friends. Both seem to have been done to death from every possible angle. This three-hander tells of two best friends both gay who are fearful to come out to each other for fear of what it could do to their friendship if the feelings are unrequited. The adult leads are not experienced actors but their love for each other and chemistry rings true. The third character is Billy’s younger mentally challenged brother whom he adopts when their parents are killed in an unspecified accident. This film was produced by minimal crew and the often overly bright lighting suggests that their equipment didn’t allow for mood lighting. This isn’t great theatre but it was an act of love.
