Real surprise package

This truly terrific thriller scores in all departments. First and foremost is Lee William's stunningly intense and passionate central performance. He has completely internalized his complex character, bringing it to the screen with tremendous conviction in a display of faultless acting. Marc Warren, resembling a Malcolm Macdowell of younger days, doesn't quite have the same grasp on his character, which at times loses credibility, but fortunately not enough to spoil the film. Mikela Mikael captures a lovely vulnerability so necessary for the plot to work.

This is a thriller that works on all levels, which is an achievement few thrillers seem to attain. The plot twists are indeed unexpected and for the length of the movie the viewer is kept riveted to the unfolding story. The cinematography is of the highest level, especially with the amazing Alaskan seascapes but also the carefully shot interiors. Director Tom Shankland who put all this together is certainly a name to watch.

Having no expectations or preconceptions about the film, plus the fact of these actors being completely unknown (well, to me anyway), made this one great surprise package. There are not that many classy thrillers around; if that's your pleasure you won't want to miss this one.

NEVER NOT!

This film explores, then examines, the nature and presence of love but does not attempt to explain it. That is the hallmark of its success.

From the opening sequence through the rolling credits, we are invited to believe that although gender and jealousy may present obstacles to true love, they will never defeat it. It is an invitation we cannot refuse.

The plot for all its reliance on coincidence and remote possibility, serves to remind us that true love may be easy to recognize but difficult to find, in a world of increasing cynicism and heartbreak.

Moreover, it encourages us to accept that the experience of true love defies logic and analysis but rather should be savored, for love, like life, is transient - in the face of time and changing circumstance.

Most memorable line: `I love you, my adorable hedgehog. Never not.'

On an impulse

No Night Is Too Long casts young Lee Williams as one beautiful twink of a college student who gazes longingly on paleontology professor Marc Warren. One day on an impulse they passionately kiss in an elevator and the two are hooked on each other.

Not that he's interested in his field, but Williams is certainly interested in the professor. He reluctantly goes along on an Alaskan cruise where Warren is an instructor on finding fossils. When he leaves Williams alone in Juneau for two weeks the trouble begins.

After that the film is a story of betrayal, violent passions, and even murder. In fact for an impulsive act on Warren, Williams seems to have covered up pretty well.

Williams and Warren are an ideal pair of passionate lovers, the bisexual Williams however finds it impossible to not satisfy the heterosexual side of his nature. Mikela Mikael plays the woman who comes between Williams and Warren and she also has a secret or two to reveal.

No Night Is Too Long starts as tender gay love story which goes into all kinds of dark directions. It's a worthy addition from across the pond to the gay cinema.

Absolutely amazing!

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. Both Lee Williams and Marc Warren are amazing in their respective roles. Williams is superb as the confused young man who enjoys the chase more than the end result, and Warren meets this fine job with one of his own; he is excellent as the angry and bitter lover who cannot get his heart free. The story is also top-rate, very depressing, but so true to life that it can't be faulted. I didn't like the casting choice of Isobel, I rather thought that she was played too old, but otherwise, this film was brilliant, definitely worth your time.

A love story well developed

the very first time I saw this movie I was shocked for the sex scenes and don't really believe I'd like it. the second time I saw it I was with a friend and we spent part of the movie discussing Ivo and Tim's relationship. its an amazing movie, excellent actors and great scenery,so well written that you actually felt for this guys. the feelings and all the emotional stress that the characters suffer from the beginning to the end its palpable, I personally believe that any person can relate this movie to their own love-lives. Tim (Lee Williams) was portrayed with such grace and amazing ability that I actually can't see the actor, every tear, every gesture was superb. the growing of the character during the story and the changes, I'll just say that if this guy decide to work more often he'll be one of the finest actors of this century. And Ivo(Marc Warren) at first I thought he was an abusive selfish brute, at the end I really liked him more than Tim. I've never read the book because I couldn't find it yet, I'm still looking for it. In my opinion is SO much better than Brokeback mountain.

Trivia
The film makes reference to the opera "Der Rosenkavalier" in several ways. The film title comes from the closing pages of Act 2 where Baron Ochs sings the phrase « Ohne mich, ohne mich jeder Tag dir so bang ; Mit mir, mit mir keine Nacht dir so lang », which Tim, recalling his passionate times with Ivo, renders as "Without me, without me every day is a misery; With me, with me no night is too long.".

[whispers]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Where is he?
Kit Winwood: [Walking in from the kitchen] Where's who?
Isabel: [to Ivo] I thought you might have known?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Well, if I knew I wouldn't be asking, would I?
Kit Winwood: Who are we talking about here?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: We're talking about Tim Cornish, a friend of mine from England. Well, he was a... a lover.
Kit Winwood: Ahh...
Dr. Ivo Steadman: He'd come with me on one of my lecture cruises, and we stopped off at this island, and we ended up having a fight. And, uh... well, I fell against a rock, I was out cold and...
[pause]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: He left me there. Dead, as far as he knows.
Kit Winwood: Jesus! How long were you there?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Two or three days. One of my colleagues got suspicious. So, the next cruise stopped off and uh... here I am.
Kit Winwood: Oh my God... this guy really wanted to kill you?
