Plan B

This a very understated movie. Because Spanish is not my first language, it is sometimes difficult to get the full meaning of a movie. Subtitles are not always translated with the real meaning of the dialogue. Because of the method of telling this story, and the superb acting the language didn't really matter. So much of the story is in the facial expressions, attitude, and eyes of the main characters. It takes time to get into the story, but the story is well worth the wait. You need to pay attention, put details together...but you should love this movie! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I got into enjoyed this movie and the way it was told. I watched it twice!

maybe it's because it reminds me the hard time I've had in my twenties to figure out how I could tell a guy I loved him but I love this movie which is quite simple in terms of plot and acting. It's merely due to the two actors of course that let us think they discover the feelings for each others as well as their potential acting on the screen. Both of them don't seem to be famous in Argentina but they would deserve to go further in their acting career.

Great movie, photo is undoubtedly gorgeous (I loved the colors of the buildings - quite impressionist view of the city) and I definitely recommend it to people for its delicate and simple way to show the carefulness we may use sometimes before going further into a relationship and also the ambiguity straight men relationship may have regarding the way they express their feelings to each other.

A fine motion picture about male friendship taken to the physical plane and turned into a homoerotic relationship. Certainly the undercurrent was there (as seen in the last reel), moving the characters together rather unconsciously, but the liaison had not been expressly planned. In my opinion, the script has a few shortcomings, starting with the initial proposition: a young man who cannot win back his ex girlfriend, decides to seduce the guy she is having an affair with. That is the "excuse" to develop the story of how two normal guys find out they love each other, first just as candidly as two 12-year-old kids would love each other, and then making it grow as adults, just as plain lovers. I had my doubts about watching it, but after it was finished I was more pleased than hypercritical. My problem with most films with homosexual stories is that I believe they hardly get close to what the "real thing" is: many are advertising campaigns for the unwary; others, plain pornography, and far too many, soap operas with stories that probably would get better after The End, and so on. "Plan B" goes beyond these stereotyped formulas, and tries something different for a change. Nicely acted by the two lead players, with a cast of (apparently) non-professional actors that makes things more believable. Give it a try, no matter what your sexual orientation is.

Just seen this at the London Film Festival and highly recommend it. Was fortunate enough to be able to see the Q&A with the Director and his team afterwards in which they said this has no distribution yet even in it's own country. I hope this situation changes as it is a film I think a lot of people worldwide would enjoy. If it comes to a cinema near you then go see it. I certainly hope to see a more of this director and his cast. Absolutely excellent.

I love cinema but this is the first film that I've ever felt so strongly to post on the internet about in the hope that more people will have the pleasure.

I literally stumbled upon this movie and ,unlike all the movie trash out there this is worth your time. I do not even think it is fair to label this a "gay" film. To me that genre should simply be erased, and changed to a love story like any other- whether it's between two woman, two men, a man and woman. Although I digress... I like how the film dealt with the two characters coming to terms with feelings never confronted before, where the friendship line is crossed. It does not get moody, it portrays very realistically how two people may deal with loving a friend. Although the dialogue is pretty minimal, it is very poignant and direct. The scenery of Argentina is shown throughout, and the little things in this film matter. If given the chance to watch this film...do it! You will not regret it.
