Any-who, I did really really like the move.
.
It is all about two guys meeting, talking, hanging out (and having sex) over the course of the week-end. It is very non-traditional in that it is much more along the lines of an American Independent move, instead of a "gay" movie.
.
It's kind of odd, because Glen (the guy above on the right) is doing a project where he records people after having sex. And he says, "Straight people won't come because the idea of gay sex freaks them out, and gay people won't come because there aren't pictures of penis (although he uses a more direct word)". That problem kind of sums up the movie. I don't think straight people will come because it has gay sex, but the gays won't come because the sex isn't particularly graphic, nor are the boys particularly hot.
.
What it is though, is a totally real feel of two people making a connection, almost against their own sterotypes of what a relationship should be. The ending is ambiguous and not pat at all.
.
I liked it quite a bit, although it is talky talky talky, and starts a little slow.

After the show, the writer / editor / director had a Q&A session that was interesting. He understands the limits of the movie, but specifically set out to make a movie that speaks to people like him -and most gay movies don't. They either make the gays victims or saints. It is set in kind of "generic" England outside of London - but it was actually filmed in Nottingham (as in Sheriff of).
.
Funny aside, the writer / director (Andrew Haight) describes his first crush in the picture. Yep - Rupert Graves in Room With a View.
