Everything Is Free

The whole film is just so cringe that it deserves a place on tiktok.

Very pretentious, why do gays in film filled that in order to be validated they have to show pretentious characters that dehumanize the whole point of equality.

We want to be equal because we want to be the same, not better and not worse. No need to have outrageous ly pretentious dialogues or insufferable characters to be seen. Just. Be. Normal.

I understand how Angelinos are but honestly 99% of the world is not an Angelino.

It is a film with very simple purpose - to remind a sort of sufferance to familiar for not ignore it in happy times - the sufferance from love. . And ideed, this is the main virtue of a mix of friendship, love, sex , presumed affair and a confrontation with touch of sentimental blackmail.

I saw it as decent, in few moments exagerated, looking for create complicated connections between characters and a sort of visual trap for large audience. A painter. The visit of his best friend with his younger brother. The intense feelings of artist for young guest. The discover of relation by sibling and violent reaction - protection, jealousy , fury in pure state...

The only sin is the desire to show what can real be presented. And the conversations between friends , boring in some measure, like many talks between young people. But the try is far to be bad and the only reproche can be about the not so credible final.

But, sure, as many other films from same area, Everything is Free reflects the homosexual sensitivity first and offers a story with precise, in some measure exclusivistic, audience. Nothing wrong in essence .

This film is a real trip into the mind of Christian! The surface of the story is how Ivan becomes obsessed with Cole, the brother of Ivan's best friend Christian (consider this name and how he acts toward Ivan and the symbolism to religion). Christian tells Ivan "I love you man!". But when Christian discovers Ivan is having an affair with Cole, Christian turns on Ivan with pure hate. And threatens to kill him! Most of the story deals with Ivan feeling lost without Cole and the rejection by Christian.

What we are never shown in the story is Christians relationship with his brother Cole. Is Christian protecting his brother from Ivan? Is Christian jealous of Ivan because Cole is giving Ivan what Christian cannot achieve? Or does Christian consider Cole his property?

Christian tells Ivan in a scene of anger that Cole is not like Ivan. This statement is the only insight we are given into how Christian perceives Ivan. It's a real mixed message. Christian loves Ivan as a friend as long as Ivan keeps to himself. But once Ivan breaks that barrier Christian cannot accept Ivan as a friend.

I liked this film. The story and characters were interesting and Brian Jordan Alvarez is very watchable. Good cast of supporting actors.
