One doesn't need a high budget to achieve. I started with low expectations due to the previous reviews (10, 2, 2, 10 etc) - in one word- you either hate it or love it type of movie. I was touched. It is layered in level of lecture, it is absurd, it is humorous, it is exaggerated and NOT pretending. Like life. Touches boundaries, shakes the middle class and cries along. It could have been a stage performance Eugene Ionesco style, refurbished anno now. It describes life. I am not gay neither a man. I was born after the boomer generation and before the millennials and I can say this film triggers something deep inside of me. So beautiful so absurd so genuine yet provocative and nevertheless serious. Just like reality but enhanced.
This is more of the type of newish humor that needs to be written. Like "Bros" it is a refreshing and more normal way to portray gay people in cinema.
Very clever writing good jokes, funny scenarios and quippy scenes without being too kitschy.
Hopefully this does well and they keep making more dark/black comedies like this.
Next I want to see a gay version of a satire Christopher Guest type movie, that would be cool.
Then they could do a murder mystery type, then a gay themed sci-fi one.
Not perfect, and that's ok, nothing in life, let alone cinema is a 10/10, just like no person is a 10.

Unusual little thing, to put it mildly since it involves a divorced man who realizes he is gay and who in the space of one day has three men for hire over to his beautiful home. One is to give him a massage, one is for him to have sex with and one is another male prostitute who likes having sex with the deceased. In the midst of this is a visit from a neighbor (Judith Light) who is whacked out of her mind on medications and gets locked in the place. This starts off terribly primarily due to the ridiculous characterization of the massage guy, but it and he improve as it goes along. That character, played by Lucas Gage, eventually becomes more likable, but the film's saving grace is the performance of Zachary Quinto who is really rather good in this as a sad and troubled man. Parts of this black comedy work very well, some doesn't, and there is surprising humor popping up here and there. Unfortunately, much like the beginning the ending is a mess. There is also the required sex scene and given that it is performed by two gay actors, it is spectacularly unerotic. American films about gay men tend to be rather poor, so this is a bit of a surprise being as good as it is, though it does take some tolerance, but hey, it's a comedy even if it does end with someone committing a major crime that they don't seem to be aware of.
Movies are supposed to entertain you and this one did!! I usually get bored with something because they use the same old formula that's been around forever but no this one surprised me and most importantly made me laugh! I laughed so hard and was so glad watched this. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I also loved the young and older bounce back and forth between these two. I was loving the relationship they were forming in one night! I actually thought he would leave the house to Cameron. I think the romance was there and I just loved it. Yes there is violence and they should have left that part out of the script but other than that I liked it. The whole beginning was realistic and then it became hilarious. I highly recommend.
Boy was this refreshing. Everyone did such a good job and it's good to see some fresh faces. Zachary and Judith you did an amazing job, and this new guy Lukas is amazing. It was a little bit sick and twisted, but it was enjoyable and it was entertaining and it was fresh and it was original. There's so many boring scripts out there.
I wish there were more movies like this available. It deviates so much from the standard trope.
The acting was really impeccable. I'm not sure who the writer was, but they did a really good job, and the scenery was great, and I like the whole psychological element behind everything.
Good job, everyone.
