Leave your thoughts about Leaving Metropolis.
| Toronto StarSusan WalkerThis story might be leaving Metropolis, but it didn't dress for the occasion. |
| National PostChris Knight'Pretty standard' pretty much sums up this movie. |
| User ReviewPrivate UBrad Fraser's own film of his brilliant play POOR SUPER MAN. Packs a mighty emotional wallop... Very detailed and beleivable performances.. I liked this film very much. |
| User ReviewJoshua JLove this film, it's based on the script "Poor Super Man," which I proudly produced once from Canadian playwrite Brad Fraser (host of Jawbreaker and writer for Queer As Folk's season 1 and 2). |
| User ReviewJonathan OA nicely written movie about a gay artist who is inspired, finding his passion in painting again after meeting and falling for a married man. |
| User ReviewKelly BThis is a great movie, I can relate to a few parts (longing for someone I shouldn't) but they follow through with it...good movie to see. Soundtrack leaves something to be desired, the 2 male leads are good looking and easy on the eyes, and the lead female reminds me of Jennifer Lopez, (even though she isn't) and ugh you get to see her breasts...a couple of time...if you like that sort of thing, then this is for you. |
| User ReviewLisa Snow, that's some great canadian film! i was very impressed. great actors. |
| User ReviewGlen SA gay artist's inspiraton falters; he finds a hot married man and is "inspired". Not a bad movie, but in the end almost everyone ends up "leaving metropolis". |
| User ReviewDavid HErotic and provoking. It's typical gay fare, but I do appreciate that it was filmed in Manitoba of all places. |
| User ReviewBrian FA bit too predictable, more professional than most gay themed films. Decent acting by the main characters. It does have it's share of cliche's. |
