A couple of unkind reviewers claim this film is bad. I'm not really a review type guy but had to just for the sake of the film's quality.
As an avid LGBT film fan, I've seen all the higher and lower end movies out there, from TLA originals to Here Tv, and so on... this one, despite its flaws, seems on the higher end.
Complete Strangers is a really good thriller, with romantic vibes, that quickly turns dark. Without going too deep into the movie, I found the film to be very easy to watch and entertaining. The writing was good, the acting was fantastic, especially Matthew Crawley as Hugo, a new talent to watch. What really impressed me though, and this is not something common in lower-budget movies, was the sound quality as well as the image. Ronnie Minder's soundtrack is mind-blowing.
The reason I give 9 stars and not 10 is because I felt Pau Masó should pick directing over acting, as it felt like there was too much on his plate. I personally really like him as an actor too, but movies are hard work, and one can't simply do everything. You gotta pick one! Other than that, amazing! Highly recommend!
