KRISTIAN V.

It is low budget and it shows...really bad. They quote various Bible verses throughout the movie, but they take them out of context and do not handle them accurately. The acting is bad. The dialog is forced. The storyline is predictable. The lead actor is not good looking, although two of the supporting actors are. At times, it appears to be a home movie. It tends to be a depressing movie; so if you're suicidal, don't watch it! I recommend watching the trailer before you rent or buy it; if you think you like the trailer, then give it a shot. Otherwise, don't waste you time by renting it, and don't consider buying it.

This film is reminiscent of the gay films from the late 80s and into the 90s--the story has potential, but the acting, writing and directing lack the professionalism we're seeing more and more often in more recent history. Stll, the fact that the film is based on a true story gives it some added depth, and some of the younger actors' acting is passable, given their lines, the direction and the budget. The older adults' acting leaves much to be desired. Rent this if you've seen most of the other gay-themed films available and you're looking for something new; not a keeper, though, in my book.
