Dominique Reymond, Eric Savin, Jérémie Elkaïm

An emotionally subtle film with some surprisingly graphic sex, Come Undone follows 18-year-old Mathieu (Jeremie Elkaim) as he goes on holiday with his depressed mother, her cranky caretaker, a...( read more  read more... )nd Mathieu's resentful younger sister. At the beach, Mathieu meets Cédric (Stéphane Rideau), a handsome teenager with whom he begins a romance after a kiss in the moonlight. Their relationship is threatened by Mathieu's fears of how his family will react and by a violent former lover of Cédric's, but ultimately is brought to an end by something else entirely. Come Undone shifts fluidly back and forth in time and can be confusing, but by the end it's an affecting portrait of both love and melancholy. Some will find the movie worth seeing just for the many shots of the extremely attractive naked actors romping on the beach. --Bret Fetzer

    I can appreciate the story that it trys to tell - a young man trying to come to terms with his sexuality (and all that it entails).
    The cast was exceptional. And the potential is there for a very moving and powerful film.
    However, with the exception of one fairly graphic sex s...( read more)cene (which was more gratuitous then story strengthening)...I feel that the film is (ultimately) too subtle for it's own good.

    To be honest, I don't remember it well enough to be fully confident in my rating. It may be worth more stars, and less likely, less stars. But I do remeber it being powerful. Yah, how's that for a convincing review?

    Overrated and quire boring when you get down to it.

    If you're willing to read the script (or if you speak French) this is a pretty good movie. I'm not sure how well a straight audience can relate to the struggle to accept being gay, but they might learn something, unless they are visually shy.

    A simply beautiful movie.

    Romantic?like a poetry.
  • August 26, 2008
    Bittersweet movie with excellent performances from both main actors.

Although Come Undone deals with serious, difficult subjects ... it handles them kindly and with little angst. full review
