Love Without Fear

The title is not about gay guys loving other gay guys without fear, but rather straight women loving "bisexual" men without fear. Acting abilities were alright, but the drama scream scenes were over the top and scary. A man who is mostly straight is NOT going to make out with another man as depicted in this movie...they went all the way, as intimate as people can get. So the blue eyed actor's claim that he was totally straight fell flat. And NO woman should just overlook the fact her boyfriend is at least an active bisexual and maybe even a closet gay. We are told it's OK to love without fear of making bad choices. Horrible message and the story lacked any credibility.

(Unbelievable first gay experience review 5/10) was the first review i read here and the person who wrote this review could not be off base more. Can you live in your bubble of labeling people straight? Gay? Sure go ahead - limiting your horizons just gives others more choice. Sexuality is a spectrum and i know many self identified straight men who have had other encounters w men and it's not all black and white as it is in your world. Also, thank the younger generations they are not a big uncomfortable or shameful about same sex interactions or encounters because times have changed. I pitty the person that lives within labels. Those of us not bound by religion or social construct know better and this film was a beautifully told story of real life issues - because life happens and that's exactly what happens in this movie. It is told with sincerity, acting is a bit on and off - the Josh (Andres Roman) character was the most compelling to watch as we follow his plight. He also looks like Eliah Wood. The music was a bit cheesy (music in these cases) could have really brought the scenes or performances home. I love the use of nudity and sexual situations - it really brought the message home and made the story more organic with its themes. No i'm not related to the cast in any way nor am i friends with any one related with this production. Many people if they see an opinion review that does not agree with theirs think immediately the review must have been planted. It was not. It's not a perfect film, but the story was well told and i just purchased it on amazon to add to my digital collection for i plan to revisit it to study it in more detail because these scenarios happen more often than people think even tho they may be talked about seldom. Congrats to the filmmakers and actors for a good movie i definitely recommend.

I love/hate this movie because it has very good moments in different aspects but it has the same amount of bad scenes.

I am a bit confused by the message that this film wanted to leave, since it is not a gay romance but it is not a personal drama either. I think this film wants to leave the message of exploring and searching for people who make you happy through faith, destiny and the nature of things, but in the end the message is lost.

However, it also has its good points such as the music used at very appropriate moments, they exploited the town and the culture of Taxco with very beautiful scenes that give the film a lot of personality, is moderately entertaining, plus I think it has some quite relatable scenes.

I STRONGLY believe that this movie would have done much better if they had made it in a comedy format (In the style of "The Proposal".), exactly the same movie but comedy would have fixed the errors at the script level such as certain strange plot twists, the exaggerated performances and the unreal things that happen just to advance the plot, in addition to clearly making the movie more fun and entertaining.

Despite everything, I did like this movie, the scenes between Leo and Josh were pretty cute to me, I think the ending is a bit bizarre but it's okay.

Sorry, I had to take it out because my chest isn't a hold.

Love Without Fear shines thanks to Alejandro Belmonte's captivating performance. He portrays the Leo's character journey with both charm and vulnerability. Other supporting cast especially Carmen Baqué does a good job as well. It's in no way a perfect film but it has its moments. The film's exploration of societal prejudice is timely and touching. However, the ending feels rushed and even strange, leaving some loose ends and a sense of incompleteness and detracting from an over all impact. Regardless, its wonderfully made film with a lot of heart and love. A must watch for Indie Cinema lovers.

It was a privilege to join two of the actors and the director in viewing this film the Seattle Latino Film Festival. Even if they weren't there/FaceTiming in, you could still tell how much they believed in and cared about their craft.

I have often found myself yearning for more sincerity when it comes to queer representation in film. In the case of Love Without Fear, I felt sincerity that was enhanced by some of the melodrama, their comedic moments, and relatable monologues and dialogue throughout.

I was magnificently surprised by the finale and a successful execution of using a short deneumont to the films advantage. I started rooting for every single one of the four core characters before they hit that climax and I see that as an indicator of well structured character arcs.
