VARIETY SHOW
Today's gay film(s) was a collection of short films
named for the final production, a musical about a guy who can't stay with one guy. It is an end to end musical, very well done. Neat.
The preceding shorts are all quite strong except for a teen-gay film that is about as empty as the kids themselves but then that is what it is like to be a teen-gay so there you are.
I had seen one before, a visit from an ex who is looking to relight the fire to no avail but there is a teddy bear involved which takes it beyond disappointment into, well, poignancy.
Funny bit about a guy who gets his kicks going through the airline security point. Another about two improbably matched guys who meet in a book store. Very nice.
Most interesting is the short that resulted in the full length Were the World Mine.
A great mix. A 4 out of Netflix5.
