User Reviews

A stopped camera focusing on a young man's face while he receives oral sex.

The idea by itself is interesting: an attempt to catch a man's facial expressions and emotions (maybe thoughts?) while receiving oral sex. But it fails to deliver.

The result was simply a very boring movie, which drags itself along over 27 minutes. Trying to find innuendos, enlightening messages, eroticism or any deeper concept behind the scene requires an enormous dose of imagination.

The receiving "actor" is cute, but mostly bland, seeming incapable of expressing a consistent sense of pleasure, remorse, satisfaction or whatsoever.

A total waste of time. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
