Sodom

A low-key, intimate character study of two men, an older gay man and a younger, not so straight guy who meet under a unique circumstance late one evening and spend the night together discussing their pasts, their present, and maybe their future. Jo Weil's performance as Michael, the handsome, seasoned older man, is a revelation. A haunting piece of cinema that stays with you long after the film is over.

Enjoyed this wonderful made film ... great acting and great bodies

This a slower, charming, very intimate movie...that's not going to be for everyone (eg my movie mate hated it.) But for those who are not in a hurry for action & who can appreciate very naturallistically & well acted scenes unfolding in an organic fashion...will appreciate the very satisfying pleasures this film has to offer.

Slow paced love story kept me hooked but the straight acting gay guy did it for me he was gorgeous and a much better acting than the straight soon to be married guy. The only thing that I thought was a let down was the straight guy that was soon to be married was camper than the gay guy I couldn't see this guy as a footballer can't even for the life of me know how his girlfriend didn't know about him he wouldn't look out of place on a Mardi gras float in a gay parade.

The title "Sodom" makes zero sense for the name of this film and it is very difficult to enjoy this movie unless you are sight-impaired. Imagine a Caucasian actor playing an "Asian." We are expected to accept something that doesn't match what we actually see. The film is a perfect example of how BAD CASTING can ruin a movie. It's like watching an actor calling for his dog and then a cat shows up (and we are told it's a dog). I have no personal issue with Pip Brignall (Will; the younger, straight soccer player). He does an OK job, he was simply NOT RIGHT for the part because:

• AGE: he is supposed to be 20, but looks almost as old as the other 40-year old gay character.

• Orientation: supposed to be straight but looks 10X gayer than the "gay" character. Everything from hairstyle, his smile and mannerisms are screaming "gay." Then he opens his mouth and all suspicions are confirmed. Yet we are continually insulted by being told that he's straight. Yeah right!

• Does not look like or act like a soccor player. Besides, why even write a "soccer player" into the story when it is not important to the plot..

REWRITE the story/script so it fits what we are watching. Otherwise cast an actor that fits the role. Don't try to sell us apples when you are offering oranges; then expect a good outcome.
