Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

mail-04210 Being gay myself and having seen quite a few gay- and coming out- and coming of age movies I found this film rather tedious, way too long, rather sad and without any real story, without a beginning, a middle and an end ! The supposedly straight friend Martin is a slow, not very determent , drifting aimlessly through the day type of guy-but constantly having sex with some girl or another. He seems to be a lifelong friend of of the other, guy, who is obviously gay and has a life-long crush on Martin. Both have never had any sexual encounter with each other-and then, in the last 5 minutes of this sad little,pretentious ,badly filmed "artwork" they seem to remember that -and dutifully rush through a bedscene-after which Martin, who is afraid of the beach and the water, takes a long swing in the cold, wintry wavy ocean. NO, that's NOT one of the must see gay movies.

B.g. Thomas So do you suppose there is a way for me to sue Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, the directors of this staggeringly boring movie, for my time back? This film was rambling, boring, pointless. I wondered if this even had a script and they just let the actors improvise. Nothing was solved. Nothing resolved. I finally kept fast-forwarding through it hoping that something would happen. The actors were cute and seemed to be able to act. But I certainly won't be looking out for anything by these directors again. What a waste of my time. What is it with gay movies that the creators seem to think they have to get artsy-fatsy? Straight love films have a beginning, middle and end. Why can't a gay movie?

Gaspar Garrido Brazil is one of the most geographically distinct countries in the world. This movie was filmed in the Southern State of Brazil – Rio Grande do Sul. I admire the capacity of turning one of the most cliché setting of Brazil in something new – this is the unknown Brazil; so as someone said this is not set in Northern Portugal. This represents a great creativity because it is not easy to turn something already known in something completely new.Nevertheless, the history was vague and somewhat confusing. I must admit that in the beginning I thought Martin and Tomás were already a couple because of their intimacy, so when I realize they weren't, when they arrive to the night club, I found out the end.People might say that this film argument is just like many others – what it isn't completely false – but this is a first impression on LGBT/Come out and growing up matters in Southern Brazil – a much different cultural background from the North (São Paulo and Rio). It can be difficult to cope with the story – a indie low budget problem – but it's worth to see it until the end.

B24 Here is an example of self-conscious introspection going in too many directions at once. Bad enough for the viewer trying to cope with shaky frames from hand-held cameras, even worse when the narrative slows for long, heavy pauses in either words or actions. One wonders why so many low budget films share this phenomenon. It is tempting to call out to the screen, "Get on with it, already!"Still, there is charm in the notion that two young friends can figuratively swim their way, as ocean sounds play in the distance, through casual interruptions in a simple assignment to locate and retrieve a family document of some importance as they visit a beach house in the cold of winter. It might even be possible to salvage this film by cutting out totally irrelevant scenes that serve only to provide background for their respective characters. A filmmaker's self-indulgence in attempting to recreate a familiar story from his or her past reminds me of how quickly I run away whenever someone says, "To make a long story short..." which in fact becomes a stream of consciousness without an end.Indeed, there is no clear end to this film. It just goes on and on.
