For reasons passing understanding, virtually every scene in this movie was too long. If the guy's phone rang, the camera would linger on it for what seemed like days. The back and forth of an ordinary telephone conversation was punctuated by extra long periods of nothing. No matter what scene began, there was an extra long establishing shot. Otherwise, it was a decently acted story that was more or less believable.

Watching this movie was like Watching a hamster run around on a wheel going nowhere.... I kid you not....from beginning to end...

I had high hopes for this movie as someone who has had my share of struggles reconciling my Christian faith and my being gay. The writer missed a good opportunity to address some Biblical issues when talking to his female friend but failed to take advantage of them. Also, the editing was atrocious as it was way too slow making the movie drag painfully in places. The biggest complaint was an ending that was a major letdown in two ways: not actually showing the coming out conversation with the mother and failure to establish a relationship with Gerald and forgetting the loser. On the positive side, the masters thesis made some valid points, the acting and writing were pretty good. I hope this writer/director will continue to make films on gay subject matter, taking into account constructive commentary anywhere he can get it.
