Not hard enough
Today's film was about failed attempts to seal the love deal.
A young gay couple fall in and out of love and then try half heartedly to renew the relationship.
It is pretty good but not good enough to want to see it again.
The boys are sort of unfinished young men and therein lies the problem. They are either unfinished as characters in the story or perhaps that is the point. They are just unfinished.
They meet and then reminisce about their past. We see the story unfold as they recount it to one another. A weird device since it isn't really what is happening here. No narrator. Just the film maker doing the going back thing. Not a big point maybe but it cools the whole thing off. We go from the people connecting to being a fly on the wall.
Or something like that.
I can't give it more than a 3 out of Netflix5 and even though I bought the disc so I could see it I probably won't see it again.
Actually, they are kind of annoying and I want to slap them.
