I really liked it!


I liked the faux documentary/real documentary type of deal. Seeing how Matthew Camp does what he, well..... Normally does on screen and an obsessive viewer that turns out isn't dangerous, but both can come to love each other, only to show that there is a rainbow Dorothy. Just not in this world of Oz!

It's realistic very much so. Sad in a lot of ways because it was beautiful. But beauty is a fleeting moment.

I really liked it.

Agree, it starts to redeem itself around the time the "interview" section kicks in.

I Almost gave up on it in the beginning thinking it was some self-indulgent chatroom jerkoff nonsense, but it's a lovely little film. It's got good acting, some sweetly reflective cross cut moments, good editing, and even better music..

I highly recommend. Watch this then watch a good gay drama like Pit Stop (or Shelter or Weekend) then pop in a real gay themed documentary like Marwencol or Tarnation...

I really liked this as well. It was a great idea and played out normally. There was no "Happy Ending" as many gay or straight films would have you believe in, but it wasn't a sad ending either. And you said it right Randerson112, beauty is a fleeting thing so cherish and remember it.

I had no interest watching this film and did so begrudgingly. Wow was I pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed the characters Doc and Go. Great story. Well done for all involved!

I don't watch gay themed films but this was OK-ish. I really liked the go go dancer, didn't really care for the lead, but I like their relationship.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.

I also really liked it. It did have some flaws, but what movie doesn't. They tried for something other than the typical gay romance and it worked, letting each character come off as likable, different, thoughtful and mostly self aware. It reminds me a whole lot of Weekend.

I liked it a lot.

Of course, there'll always be things to critize. But com'on: this is a low-budget movie that tries to cover a not so explored emotion. As far as I can see, it succeeds very well.

Someone else made a remark about the sometimes overly long scenes (like the kissing against the background of several New York landmarks). Not to worry: it plays very well with the emotion(s) the movies wants to transfer. It really does.

Go and see it!
