Luster is a refreshingly funny and sexy look at unrequited love. Jackson, a cute, lanky, blue-haired poet who works in a record store, is at the center of Everett Lewis' twisted black LA comedy. He's got a crush on the sexy young blonde, Billy, who he met at an orgy the other night. But Billy's not into him, he's in love with Sonny, a musician into S&M. Even though Billy doesn't want Jackson, two other guys do: Derek, a clean-cut record store customer, and Sam, the supposedly straight record store owner. Into this mix is thrown Jed, Jackson's hunky cousin, which leads Jackson to seriously contemplate the technicalities of incest. Before he can do anything about it, though, Jed is seduced by Jackson's lesbian artist friend. What's a boy to do?

| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiA character can be intelligent and provocative by pointing out the flaws of sophisticated people, but not by posing like a rebel and ripping into stereotypes. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohSo bad in a special gay, L.A. way that it's almost an inept classic of its kind. |
| TV GuideKen FoxIt's not a total shock when this gay romantic comedy suddenly veers into to heavy S&M, non-consensual sex and suicide. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe lack of a meaningful story would be easier to take if the dialogue was wittier or the characterizations were deeper, but the proceedings are instead surprisingly bland considering the outrageousness of many of the situations. |
| User ReviewBruce MGreat movie...complex at times, yet real. Should have more exposure! Most annoying thing about it is the menu on my DVD copy does not work properly! |
| User Reviewsierra bi love this movie with a passion and it would be good even if the actors sucked (which they don't) just because of the story line. very sad toward the end when sam's tape is playing :( |
| User ReviewRocky SI liked this movie a lot despite how weird it was. The story was edgy, complicated and yet strangely poetic. No real big name actors, just a story excuted rather well. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe Bestest Ever Representation of Lust! I can not give this movie enough praise and I can not find words to credit this amazing production. Would be highly received by the younger gay men of my generation, I'm Sure the wider gay audience would love to criticise and receive a broader representation which is accurate through obvious misguided or wrong interpretations which are only fair, But this movie speaks to the heart! This movie is honest, direct and will leave you lusting and aspiring from more in life but happy and content with what you have. I would highly recomend this movie to my friends a must watch! Warning: Hot Unlabelled Male Friends who will leave you lusting for more! A must see: 5 Stars! All my Love :) Micky P x |
