Just want to give those who have not watched this before but watched Psych (the TV series), this is nothing like Psych and you can't watch this as if it is a TV show. You have to watch it as if you are a film critic. This is a beautifully crafted drama/dark comedy that delves into the daily struggle of a low income, HIV Positive gay man who tries very hard to stay afloat in an environment where everything is going against him other than his close friends. And this film showed that despite all the bad things that happened to him, he still has the humanity to be positive to those around him. The ending, seemingly trivial to most people, is a huge triumph for the protagonist, and adds a little bit of Karma. To me, that is a very inspiring.
I particularly love the way the film makes you feel like you are sitting next to him, feeling every tiny struggle he had to endure, and at the same time watching him being incredibly positive that, anyone else would be bitter and suicidal. I must admit that the pace was very slow at times and left the audience confused. For me, there were times were the film to so depressed that I had to pause to do something else.
So, I recommend that if you are planning watch it, make sure you level set your expectations first!
