That Is All

The theme of the film could be interesting. COULD have been interesting. But the screenplay is pretty tedious. Large swaths of the movie are just plain boring.

The movie revolves around a small group of friends who seem like a bunch of bored losers. Ryan, the main character, clearly doesn't care a wit about his work. He plays video games, smokes weed, and watches movies with his friends. And occasionally signs onto a web sex site.

If you enjoy watching a few 25-30ish year olds watching old movies, and asking each other if they're going to this party, or that house to watch TV (and mostly responding with "I don't care") you'll likely really enjoy this film. I'm not sure if the point was to show just how boring the lives of this little clique of friends was, but it sure made much of the moving boring to watch.

The acting is fine. Not exceptional by any means. The sound mixing is pretty terrible, with scenes where the background music overshadows and obliterates dialog. (Hint: turn on subtitles if you want to know what people are saying throughout the movie.)

I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that Ryan "grows closer" to a friend's boyfriend, since that's in the description for the film. But until they meet and start to explore their relationship - and each other - the movie is really quite boring.

Ryan's character, and the movie itself only show signs of life when the guys are alone together.

But at some point, Ryan will have to come to terms with who he is, or choose to just continue along his life path of a boring existence.

Just a personal opinion, but I think this story could have been told better. A much tighter screenplay would have made it a lot less tedious.

This is a portrayal of the modern disconnect where people walk around in a cloud with no connections to life, everyone talks like they are in a cloud/fog. Wrapped up in a non-crisis, where life is so boring that minor points become the focus in their lives. A portrayal of tedious, Apathetic Canadians living in a big city with lives that won't be missed when their gone. Sad to think that this form of disconnect is becoming a social norm in our society today. Also smoking weed every few minutes of screenplay as a norm portrayal of life in Canada with our weed laws. A bunch of stoners in a weed paralysis state.

A fair exploration of boredom and loneliness of a 30 years old man . And a sentimental adventure as presumed cure for this state.

A simple story composed by meetings with friends, reading and a lot of films.

Good acting , especialy seductive work of Joel Ballanger. A a very, precise message.

Difficult to define because it proposes only a sketch. Episodes, conversations, home work job and many walks, mature in aspects of teenagers and a mistake changing entire relational geography of the main character.

Not spectacular but fair realistic. And this fact makes this film just useful. For atmosphere, for cinematography, for the dose of boredom and loneliness, for the empty public phone cabins , for the reaction of Ryan discovering the early presence of Paul, for gentle definition of attraction and sexual identity and for the relations with others.

In short, just interesting to provocative.

I would liken this film to a nut. It offers a surface - a look at a guy in a monotonous stage of life, ok, let's say boredom. But as the story unfolds, the shell cracks enough to give a glimpse into the true nature and desires of the main character - now, its up to you to use your fantasy or just to feel... For it is not certainly boredom that sets the plot and the main character's actions in motion... The cracks in the shell of the story are just big enough to perceive the true nature of the inner conflict between the true desire of the man and his outer need for social stereotype, well, If you want to take a peek! You can only wonder what will prevail... It's a worthwhile film, and I'll definitely return to again.

I Started to watch this movie and in the next 15 minutes Nothing really was happening except for a story of a straight group of friends having normal activities , but something that started to catch my attention was that time elapsed between scenes were abrupt and rapidly changing to another place and subject of that specific episode!

Regarding the story I can not complain because it is a real story about a gay guy who had an affair with a straight guy along with his current relationship and honestly that line story was the only interesting scene to watch where drama came back to both of them but the end once again was abrupt and living the audience thinking.. what really happened in the last minute of the film?
