Shoulder Dance

Are there really people who can watch this silly spectacle for 100 agonising minutes? And then give it ten points? The director must have some good friends.

I'm sick of watching such pumped-up, rich American snobs babbling to themselves.

What a load of rubbish. Couldn't make it through half of the movie. A film to delete and forget immediately. I would have walked out of the cinema.

Sexy beautiful story about relationships and healing, and new paths forward. The writing and directing are excellent! Looking forward to a sequel or perhaps a prequel of this wonderful story. Lots of curiosity around the past and how these characters developed and how they could be developed for another film very nicely done. It would be especially interesting to see how the female character lead got her start and how she evolved into the first thing that she is in the film. It would also be interesting to see the event that split Ira and Roger apart and caused this very long pause in their relationship, would love to see more from Director Jay Arnold .

It's a good film. It has a great and honest perspective on what matters truly at the core of our most real, most human relationships.

I wish Arnold would write in more BIPOCS with his lead characters and stories though. It's been missing for most of his films (there's background BIPOC characters in Big Gay Musical sure but it seemed an afterthought). So here's hoping to finally see forethought and fleshed out major BIPOC roles in this upcoming works.

It'll be great to see nuances in shapes, sizes and colours with his cast members and it frankly would be interesting to see how Arnold's brilliant writing and storytelling craft will evolve within a multicultural and pluralistic milieu.

So many fake 10 stars reviews out here! Let me get this straight, as ironic as it sounds, cause this is a gay movie. This drama romance comedy revolves around a man child who couldn't got over childhood crush, that it made him so afraid of commitment with his current boyfriend. And Matt Dallas is the one playing that character. Poor guy. Can't they give him a more sophisticated character, that isn't so vapid? That being said, the movie itself isn't so bad. It's still watchable.

There's only one moral lesson that I want to highlight here : Kids, don't do drugs! Movies made it sound so fun and so light like doing drugs isn't anything big. Well, let me tell you something real without being preachy. Drugs are destructive for your brain! You won't feel the side effects right away. But in your future days, doctors will tell you how those cursed things have eaten away at your brain cells. And regret, always comes too late. So you might wanna follow Josh's footsteps in this movie. Cause he's a smart boy, he knows what's bad for him. And won't let anything pressure him into doing whatever he doesn't wanna do.

We find out right at the start that josh and ira do not have an equal relationship. Ira is a busy, big shot agent, and makes decisions without consulting josh. And seems to be ashamed of josh's work... whatever that is. When a straight friend comes to visit, he's very touchy feely, even in front of his girlfriend. It's a bit like the big chill. All those people coming together in one spot, you just know something is going to happen! This one starts kind of slow, but then things start to happen about halfway through. The boys start doing things they claim they never do. And of course, one thing leads to another. It's really well done ! Recommend this one! Written and directed by jay arnold.
