USA gay-themed movies which are concentrated on the story of a gay couple, concentrate as well on explicit sex scenes (signature of the promiscuous gay life-style which in major part I disagree with and I feel it's the product of a suppressive society). The movie doesn't deviate from this although it brings a bit of complexity to the story. Plot flip-points are handled well in the movie. I give credit also to the director and the cameraman, the movie view didn't seem static like most of low budgeted gay-themed movies (or over-closeup shots like some others). Actors performance could be found boring at sometimes but I liked the touchy moments in the film. In general, not a bad watch and with a little bit of actors improvement and more budget, I feel the movie would be much better.

One thing I observed from watching the movie is that the story which isn't related to the main couple - the one where Wolf's armature porno film-maker finds a replacement, seems incomplete. We see a sense where the replacement driving his car after being in the film-maker's apartment with a bloody knife - indicating that the replacement guy killed him. Latter we see the guy walking on the beach on the sight of an old man and finally we see the guy with a slit throat naked on the beach. Either the directer edited a lot of this story or maybe it's the director's/writer's vision about loneliness and focusing on body- pleasure instead of spirituality (which I find it way deep for a short story like this). Another point to mention is that when Sean and Wolf broke-up at the end of the movie. Sean mention that Wolf might not had someone to give him so much attention until the point of stocking, like what Sean did, "you loved it!" as Sean said. Did Sean broke-up with Wolf because he felt that the whole relationship is unhealthy or he was doubting that Wolf loves him for other than his "stocking" attitude or it was much deeper - to spare Wolf form hardship by being with a recovering addict (or addict, depending on how you see it)? In any case, I find the ending satisfying.
