Spotlight Reviews
I
remember reading a great review of this film in the Los Angeles Times, so I decided
to check it out on DVD. I wasn't disappointed. It's really clever and addresses
relationship issues that are rarely addressed in gay films. Sure, the main
character (played by R.T. Lee) whines a lot and is in his head a lot, but I
know so many people who are exactly like him. The other two actors who make up
the love triangle are super. The boyfriend (played by Greyson Dayne) is
completely sweet and naturalistic and the college kid (played by Johnathon
Roessler) is hilarious. The entire cast, for that matter is great, especially
the coffee shop owner (with a couple of the best lines in the film). The
photography is a little stark and jolting, but it looks like it was intended to
be that way, adding to the naturalistic feel. Very cool! This is a really
worthy effort by director Quentin Lee and should be checked out by everyone
interested in gay cinema.
