WEST HOLLYWOOD GAY
Today's gay film was
This is a great movie. You have to be patient.
The sex, drugs and rock and roll take back seat to serious issues about sex, love and not so much rock. Drugs pretty much leave the picture.
Clearly an attempt to break some cinematic ground, two close friends, one straight, the other gay work in a CD store. A riff, I think, on High Fidelity. Very good.
Can't tell too much.
The "hero" is sweet and attracts everyone's attention. One of those guys who can give but has trouble taking. Strikingly handsome and very thin until he takes his clothes off.
You gotta wait.
There is a lot of meat on the story bones though. Very generous. Fun and funny and dead serious.
I would happily watch it again. And will. A surprise Netflix5 drawn right out of the hat.
