A funny, dark comedy that doesn't try to be more than it is. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a gay movie that doesn't try to be groundbreaking and moving etc trying to win awards by showing the immense struggle of being a gay man and coming out.
The relationship between Cameron and Gary is incredibly endearing and provide some proper laughs.
A fresh take one what could be seen as an overdone premise, taking what would generally be a thriller and turning it into a light hearted dark comedy.
Absolutely added to my list of favourites for light watching, and will be giving this another viewing in a few months.
Zachary quinto and Lukas Cage both are amazing in this.

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.

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.

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.
