Never heard of this gay-themed Indie film until last night, and i guess my curiosity got a better hold me with the involvement of a little boy in the movie plot. I decided to watch it without any dire expectation and to my surprise without being overly effusive I was entertained. More so, the film made me think, which very few movies are able to do to me.
The movie plot is very simple and straight-forward, which most of the time is considered bad, but works perfectly for this film. It tells the story Emon, a very sexually active gay guy, and his struggle to balance his private life and his desire to maintain a serious exclusive relationship with his new lover Tim, amidst his task to look after his nephew Zack. More compelling about the film is that despite the simplicity of its depiction of the conflicts of interest between the two main characters, Emon and Tim, it manages to profoundly express the message that it is trying to convey. Acceptance, love, family, and self-respect.
There is just one thing though that I think tainted the main focus of the film, the orgy scene was delivered longer that it should have been, which for me deviates the attention of the viewers to the more compelling issues that the film touched. Like what really constitutes a family and exclusivity in a relationship. Nonetheless, I find the film refreshing compared to other gay-themed Indie films that portray nothing more than titillating scenes on sexuality.
More films like this in the future sana...
This seems like a refreshing break from the usual run of gay-themed movies.
