The Plot: Tim (Ryan Corr) and John (Craig Stott) fell in love
at high school. Even in face of all adversities and temptations their romance
lasts 15 years and only ends when they face an unbeaten enemy.
The cast: Ryan Corr and Craig Stott
play the loving gay couple with emotion, humor and chemistry. Corr, besides
being a true eye candy, is a passionate actor and I believe he has what it
takes to become a big movie star. Stott easily creates empathy with us and
gives us a simple truthful performance. In the roles of their parents, Guy
Pearce and, specially, Anthony LaPaglia give them strong support.
The Movie: This gay drama, based on Timothy
Conigrave’s autobiographical novel (he was an Australian writer, actor and
activist) that was first adapted with success to the stage, is a honest look to
a relationship with all its high and lows. It’s also a reminded of a time when
AIDS was unmerciful and how it took the gay community and general society by
storm. Above all, director Neil Armfield give us a beautiful love story that
doesn’t shy away from sex and from showing us the effects of unsafe sex,
something that even today makes victims. I don’t know how a straight audience
will react to this movie, but it is has a strong story and the sex scenes
aren’t gratuitous, so I think they will like it. Anyway, this is a must for gay
audiences!
My Rate: 7 (from 1 to 10)
