This is the second gay film I have seen this week where the minor characters had more color to them than the major ones. (Trick was the other film)Still I felt this was a sweet and charming movie. I was impressed with the sense of place and the urban feel which the director gave the movie: the apartment complex and relationships between the neighbors. I especially liked the portrayal of the mother and her support of the son. The scene where she confronts her son's sexuality is among the best scenes in the film. I liked the tenderness of the romantic scenes between the two boys also.
