I don't even want to waste time writing this review but I really think that this movie was unfortunately waste of my time and money (and want to spare a few people from watching). I saw this at the Toronto Inside-Out Festival not knowing what I was getting myself into. From the first 5 minutes you could tell that the actors were beyond amateur.
The cinematography was poor, the lighting was terrible and the intimate scenes were not romantic at all.
I could hardly connect with any characters and the romance seemed so phony .
Overall, a rating of 2 is being generous.

There are a lot of negative reviews about how poorly made this movie is. There are also negative reviews about how poorly the acting is. I found this movie very uplifting very emotional and I found it heartwarming and touching. This might be a low budget movie. But it touches at the heart it makes you fall in love with it this is a good movie about overcoming obstacles and detours to find true romance.
I recommend this movie for couples or single individual who are trying to find romance this is a good movie I'm glad I watched it and I'm glad I downloaded it from Amazon prime for my library when I'm down and out I watch it and realize How life is important.

'MORGAN' is a perfect case of when a writer should not be allowed to direct his own script. The set up of the movie was very very good, as was the scene set up. The first problem was that the director had a below amateur level script/dialogue to work with, along with an author who refused to edit or get help (same person) . Most of the actors were not only miscast, but were very very 'wanting' in their acting talents and abilities .... mind you, even great actors could not have done very much more with the stereotypical poor dialogue. Did no other actors/actresses show up for the casting call?
I would love to executive produce a re-make of this project, with a top notch writer and new experienced director attached.
If you are willing to squint and grimace at least four/five times during each scene, take the 90 minutes to watch it through and imagine what a pretty good movie might look like with a quality re-write and with a seasoned director.

Just caught "Morgan" on the web. Entire movie takes place in NYC and features two young, attractive, masculine actors playing gay characters. Acting was uneven, but Leo(Morgan) played a convincing paraplegic. An outstanding acting scene was when he raced his wheel chair down a winding path, wiped out and had to pull himself up out of a ravine - all without using his legs. Leo's new found love interest was a bit too "nice" and understanding for a "walker", but Dean's character served to create a heartwarming tale of how some people are not turned off by another's physical disabilities. Overall, interesting story line....good pacing....good acting....decent score....decent script. Loved the FU scene where Leo, talking on his cell, shows his desperation and despair over being handicapped and not being able to compete as he once had.
A great idea with a good cinematography but totally destroyed by dialogs and actors. This could have been a very interesting movie, and you can tell that if the people behind it would have taken the time to really correct the script and make a descent cast. It would be a 10 stars movie.
The dialogs were totally inappropriate, didn't help at all to the development of the story, out of place and tacky. ACtor didn't help at all totally forced actors with no emotion what so ever.
Gay movies are an underground topic which is hard to find this days, with just a few exceptions here and there. I totally support this kinds of films and it would be interesting that more people started giving the appropriate attentions to this films.
