Movie Reviews

IdentityTheory - 4/10 by Phil HallWell intended but, ultimately, repetitive and less than insightful.
User Review - 10/10 by John WA great film that I think that every single gay male should watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Martin AInteresting portrait of masculinity as seen through the eyes of gay men. This documentary touches the saface of the issues gay men face when dealing with the "man" part of "gay man." It is interesting to see how (most,) homosexual men see masculinity like a merit badge that needs to be earned and displayed prominently. Whereas their straight counterparts take masculinity for a given. Their masculine identity is handed to them at birth. It is not something that is questioned. It clearly shows how gay men have to fight to be identified as male. Recommended.
User Review - 6/10 by Graham BA rather interesting Logo documentary addressing the issue of masculinity in gay culture, specifically what it is like not to fit in with the camp pop culture obsessed gay stereotype and become part of the community. It is mostly a talking head doc speaking to gay men who defy the "usual" stereotype and play sports, work blue collar jobs, a prison guard, even gay cowboys. There is also the counterpoint of effeminate guys who were always challenged about their masculinity so were forced to come out earlier and build up a defence against the latent homophobia Does a great job of balancing both perspectives, but could have done with a bit more history. A worthy watch though.
User Review - 6/10 by Jason VGreat eye candy! Was nice to see a bunch of men that just happen to be gay.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher FAn original insight into gay men and how they perceive masculinity in their lives and in the world we live in.
User Review - 4/10 by Alan DThe thing about this film that I couldn't quite figure out is whether the filmmaker set out to challenge the idea of heteronormative masculinity in gay culture, whether he's doing a little hero worship, or whether he's dissecting it to expose the sad heart at the center. There's a little bit of all of that. The editing is unfortunate, but I did appreciate that all the posturing and self-loathing homophobic patriarchal bullshit was tempered with insight and perspective from thoughtful and self-aware intellectuals and self-proclaimed sissyboys. The history lesson about the Castro clones and "gay bitchiness" and its provenance were especially welcome. The ultimate message, though, that all gay men come to their own understanding of what it means to be a "man" and they do with it what they can? It didn't quite develop for me. In the end the whole thing just left me cold.
