I'm Not Gay

Amusing, nice, extravagant and an easy comedy about two friends and their hided desires. Fine mixture of irony, beautiful reflection of small gestures/words testing the other and just funny end. Short, just nice, in clever way.

This short from Martin Chichovski made me laugh out load at several points. Everything, including the two lads themselves, is pushing them to admit they fancy each other - rejections from girlfriends, the film playing on the television, even the circumstances of their being together and horny.

There's so much packed into a short of no more than five minutes. The actors are great. They played their rôles and said their lines with verve and panache. The script has captured teenage angst and fumbling towards what they really want perfectly. Someone has a good ear for adolescent chitchat.

The ending, when it came, was a peach. I really didn't expect it. Absolutely worth a look.
