The acting, scenes, the story, the characters, the pacing, I pretty much loved all of it. Of all things, the story was damned great.
The relationship between these men was showcased so perfectly in this film but... Dean still loved his husband. We don't get to feel that feeling, what we feel is what Alex feels, wanting to be with the one who is right there in front of you. I'm left with a mess of feelings with sadness being most prominent and happiness almost nonexistent. We do know that Dean's marriage is loving with a few expected faults but what we know learned about Dean and Alex seemed more real than that. This might be seen as a fault of the story telling but I saw this as being focused on the relationship between Alex and Brian, no one else. What I felt was that they really did love each other and I'm left somewhat happy from watching this amazing movie.
