Heart wrenching and hauntingly beautiful, Dan Futterman in a sense lives in an alternate reality trying to cope with what has transpired.

One of those movies where you slowly discover bits and pieces, and it all falls into place at the end. I found the use of all the urban myths a bit gimmicky but still an enjoyable film

Good premise with impressive performance by Dan Futterman. The movie is based on a play, though it sounds like there were a lot of liberties taken in the translation. And, it works for the most part. You can't help but chuckle at some of the 'reality' of the gay life being depicted and cringe during the painful moments. A lot of reviewers had difficulty warming up to the main character. But, I liked the guy. Definitely attractive. Definitely a charmer. But, besides that, regardless of how uncool he might have behaved towards some of the other characters, when all was said and done, he was trying to get somewhere. And, in his uncool, somewhat jerky way, he was trying to get them to get somewhere too. I don't know that he succeeded in teaching his targets any lessons. But, I'd like to delude myself into thinking he did. Cuz, if you can't be deluded by charming, attractive guys, what the hell is this world coming to? ;-)
I enjoyed seeing a film with gay characters that wasn't one of the standard 'confused homo comes out' or 'painstaking yearning for love' or 'discovery of identity through excessive usage of partying, random sex, and bitchy interactions'. -
MCT:June 27, 2007Interesting little flick about revenge and gay bashing. Dan Futterman gives it all in his performance in this film. A finely crafted film that should not be ignored.

How do you move on with your life when the one that you loved was brutally and senselessly taken from you? This film goes through dreamlike sequences to a climax of self-realization...
-
MCT:February 7, 2007Extremely twisty, well acted and shot movie that takes a similar plot device to "Urban Legend", only uses it to make a gritty drama about a lost love. Dan Futterman (who scripted Capote and had a guest role in Will & Grace) is a revelation.

In a landscape of excess Futterman is a study in melancholia. Worth watching for his performance alone.

It was good, but it was a bit too creepy for my tastes. Very good though. I wouldn't want to own it, but it was good.
