This is definitely NOT a "gay film." The main character is bisexual, primarily pursuing a straight affair throughout the film. This is actually a complicated love story, with the central couple (both cheating on their significant others) struggling to find an enduring link that never materializes. There's no happy ending, no riding off into the sunset, and that's what I liked about it. It's honest, complex, well done on a low budget, and even makes some powerful statements about how our childhood experiences affect our behavior in adult relationships. Bravo also to Jeremy Lelliott, with a small but significant (because he made it so) role.

Way to perpetuate myths about bisexuals! Zero plot, acting ranged from ok to poor, sound mixing really poor. Characters don't learn anything during the movie, and simply continue same as they were. Boring. Overall, skip it.

Just rent it. Its a pretty good movie. The ending bothers me a bit, but its worth watching for the acting (Amber Benson is a *really* good actress) and the cinematography.
