15 Years

Not bad. I wish the writing could match the fantastic visuals and sharp acting in this film. The story, while overall compelling, fails to take us anywhere coherent in the end. We get it. He's having a midlife crisis. It's been happening to men (gay and straight) since God was a boy. So? The film lacks a clear emotional through line and ultimately leaves the viewer dissatisfied. A shame really - because there is a potentially interesting story to be told about society's obsession with having children and how oppressive it can be to those who don't want any. A lost opportunity in a beautiful package.

This film was wonderfully done. I didn't expect that the story line would be applicable to everyone... It just shows that we all experience love, rejection and insecurity in the same ways, be we straight or gay or otherwise. Yuval's writing was beautiful as was the acting, the filming and direction. The only reason I gave this film 9 stars and not 10 is that I wished that the reasons behind the main character's angst would have been more fully developed. His angst was very real though: i just wasn't sure where it came from: clearly something had gone on with his father, just wanted to know what. (But perhaps that would have taken away from the real direction of the movie's story.) Overall, the film moved really well and I was thoroughly engaged from the get go. Highly recommend it!

It has become a common trope lately in independent films to throw in this, that, or, whatever, and leave it to the viewer to decide what it all means, this film is not an exception. I completely don't mind reading into films and trying to interpret certain aspects. But one must be given tools with which to do so. Film makers, these days, seem to have the gaul of charging their audiences a price to see a film, then throwing in various plot points without using them to advance the story and leaving it up to the viewer to interpret it all. It's disingenuous and akin to prepaying for a meal at a restaurant and then having the chef come out to your table and asking how the dishes should be made and how good it would taste!

I kept checking how much of this dreary, dated film there was. Not even the soft porn made it watchable. Man doesn't want to have kids. Misses him mum. Doesn't like getting old. Big deal. Yawn.

The confrontation of a man against himself. In a world becoming blanck, he must decides his fair attitude about events out of his controll. And he has an option, not so rare, but not often confesed, a kind of form of adaptation to near reality, not easy, not simple, but enough for suggest a large fist of questions to viewer.

Because he lives in a ball of frustrations, fears and egotism , without feel the fair answer about relations with the others, especially with his boy friend. The pregnancy of a very good friend is the kick to total desorientation.

Provocative can be good definition of story but, more significant, beautiful performances.

For some reasons escaping explanations, no doubts, a great film about a form of grief.

Portrait of a battle and the relation with beloved one, it is a precise crafted story of survive.
