I must totally disagree with the previous user comment ("prettylittlelie"). This film is gritty, dark, real...
If you find explicit gay sex, drug-taking and so on uncomfortable, then it's probably not for you.
The story is captivating. The sexual tension between the two leads is hot. And their shared emotion is tender at times.
The journey of Cliff (Andre Noble, who is sadly dead) as he enters the dark underworld is very well told.
The previous user comments: "Also, the sex in this movie was just plain gross. Don't get me wrong, not because it's gay, but because I don't need to see close ups of ANYONE'S genitals in a movie. Two guys sitting at a table eating cereal for breakfast and jacking off at the same time, together, while they eat, is just disgusting. I don't care what the excuse is, it's unnecessary. The sex in this movie didn't serve a purpose."
This just goes to show that he really didn't get it.If you "don't need to see anyone's genitals in a movie" don't go to one based on short stories by Bruce Le Bruce HELLO??!! The breakfast scene to which he refers shows how the two boys are bonding as their relationship develops. He also says that "the sex didn't serve a purpose" - the movie is about the sex, and the drugs, and the relationships between sex and drugs.
And it is clear that he is also a homophobe. Anyone who starts a sentence "don't get me wrong, not because it's gay" obviously has issues...
Ignore what he said and see this film!
