DOWN HOME
Today's favorite gay film number 9 was
Gay boy from the northwest country, the small town of Big Eden, goes to the big city and makes good as an artist. Sells to the Whitney!
When his grandad has a stroke he goes home and finds people who still love him including a heavily closeted ex and a Native American, silent and withdrawn, an INTROVERT who has the most serious crush on him ever.
Full of ego, he doesn't notice until slowly the dawn comes up and he gets that his ex should be an ex and the Indian guy might be worth drawing out.
This is a situation comedy with a few more tears then laughs but it is very good nonetheless. A gay favorite.
It is a woodsy locale and quite beautiful. Glacier National Park. Lots to see. Scenery. And the ex is pretty good too.
Eventually, things work out and love conquers all.
We saw this when it came out and, while it is not necessarily a favorite of mine, I like it enough to give it a 3 out of Netflix5. Maybe a 4.
