Family affairs
Mom is dying and the two kids, sister and brother, arrive for the final round.
What they find is that their Mom has a caretaker who has the whole scene covered and, in a way, their Mom prefers him as her support.
This is a bit of a weeper as we know Mom is going to die.
What we don't know about is the combustible mix of kids and caretaker.
That the son and caretaker are both handsome young men and gay is a major plot element.
In fact it is the whole reason for being of this film. And that is OK with me.
The mother is superb and it does not take long for her to attach herself to our heart. As a result, the whole family comes along.
The sister is a bitch with a heart of gold. A sort of turn on the old whore with a heart of gold. She is tough and has a hard mouth and lets her feelings be known.
Romance between the boys fills the air and Sis cannot douse it.
The sex scenes are nicely done and would not offend a straight audience that has an open mind. For a gay audience, they are delicious.
This is not a film I would want to own but it is very enjoyable and good to watch. And just over the edge so that it avoids having too many soap suds over flowing.
A 3 out of Netflix5.
