I started watching expecting to exit the movie as soon as it became a brutal display of violence.

I had a problem with the whispering of the exchanges of the characters. Maybe me, maybe my TV.

My deceased partner of 18 years went to prison for having a joint in his pocket passed out on a sofa at a party he went to that was raided.

So I continued watching because I was unsure as to why he was there. I need to know.

As it continued It became a love story in the worst of places.

I was.totally in on it. Had to see it through to the end.

And I was totally scared that the ending would be devastating.

My partner was working in a prison work program clearing asbestos from a property.

He died of cancer.

This is an excellent movie. 100% must watch. Great story, excellent acting.

This movie was real worth the wait. It was written well and shot superbly. I was not sure what to expect. The lead actors are incredible and stunning to look at. Very relatable and topical. Not your typical gay movie or even jail movie.

This movie was beautifully written and beautifully acted! Most prison movies focus on violence and rarely on the human relationships. From the beginning we see our two main characters learn to build trust before exposing their tender sides. The chemistry between the male leads is dynamite! I easily believed that these two men, characters and actors could fall in love with each other. I would love for the story to have dug a little deeper into the growing affection between the two but there was a lot of story to tell in a relatively short period of time. We were given an ending that was befitting of the story! The acting was so convincing that you wonder if perhaps a true relationship between the two actors continued after filming. Loved this movie!

The best thing about this prison drama was not about violence macho characters and all we had seen in many movies! The high point of the movie was romance in prison.. surprisingly well done! And the characters are so well written that you get involved and it really touches you, though we knew there could be 2 endings and it's predictable but we still go forward to see that happiness ! One star less is only due to lack of some depths from some characters.
