| User ReviewChris MInteresting meditation on ethics and boundaries in psychotherapy. Sometimes the improbable dialogue betrays the film's origins as a stage play, but this is made up for with interesting camera work. |
| User ReviewRodney Kenjoyable, witty, and intelligent. This film doesn't lean towards one side of the debate (can gays be made straight) or the other, and has a Matrix like blue pill red/pill theme under an umbrella of manipulation. There are a lot of questions but no answers. Worth watching |
| User ReviewMadhvi Bdifficult to follow. plot moves back and forth between psychologist's office and frank's home, with jonathan appearing as the voice in frank's head. i was confused more than once about who belonged where and what they were doing. |
| User ReviewWS WWell, it has had its effective parts, but not that impressive in the whole. |
| User ReviewLaura PThe pros: If you hear voices, snap two times, and say OUT in your mind. "I use to lies like putty filling the crack in my life." The cons: The main character had really lazy eyes, and a whiny voice which bothered me. And uhhh what was this movie accomplishing again? |
| User ReviewBrian Ffirst i found it very boring, then when the script unfolds i found myself attracted to the movie's main question (the appeal isn't just about gay people, it's about identity). At the end i think it was a good idea but poorly executed. i think the main problem here is the director choice for the obnoxious protagonist, andrew elvis miller, he just ruined the movie with serious bad acting. |
