Out in the Dark

The story speaks to the very "realness" of the complexities of the human condition.

Here, we have a most believable plot of two men meeting casually - and having the biggest possible outcome on their lives. The part of "Roy" is played expertly to "Nimer" and I just love how the twists and turns of the delicate situation they find themselves in, empowers, ultimately (without giving it away) a difficult situation.

However, I enjoy that the end result is left largely unresolved allowing for your own imagination's participation. This means that the "effect" of the film stays with you for a while. It has also, in my opinion, humanised an otherwise impossible scenario in the Middle East and asks that age old question (if not entirely answers it), at what cost, love?

I'm a fan! I highly recommend this movie whether you're gay or not you'll find something in the very human story that will resonate with you.

First of All the line story is clear and easy to find out how, the romance, yep dont ever ask why this is good because its a romance movie. the music is good with a little thriller sound here and made me loud noisely to when the nimr in the runaway.

the character is really smooth just like they really have their story for real, this is I call the romantic movie I ever seen beside the truth is this movie were gay movie. i really dont care but I feel love here, I cried when there were fight for their love and I really thinks and grateful that I was born here in my country with freedom.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Every performance was totally convincing, from the very natural and relaxed love scenes to the emotional and dramatic scenes demanded by the plot. There was no editorial prejudice regarding the gay relationship or the political situation; it was a love story, a family drama and a political thriller all in one - and every aspect was handled with intelligence and sensitivity.

I liked the use of darkness to illustrate the clandestine relationship and some of the more devious aspects of the plot, and I found it fascinating to see the difference between the families and homes of the two lovers.

I found this movie by turns moving and exciting, and it was wonderful to see some truly great acting from a cast of relative unknowns. My film of the year so far.

The film looks at the issue of homosexuality in a very humanistic way. It should be appreciated. "Out in Dark" also targets this very important matter that ordinary and innocent people are the main victims of political conflicts between the government. And also various governmental or militia agents who try to prevent two persons for loving each other instead of solving the main problems of the country.

Hopefully this film will have some effect in the Arab world which is quite harsh with homosexuals. It's quite sad that the mother of the younger gay in the film even does not want to talk to his son over the phone just because he is gay.

In General I think the film is a "must see".

Beautifully Crafted. My favorite Gay Romantic film of all time. The romance on the backdrop of Palestine-Israeli Conflict, the thrill, the small moments of intimacy, the suspense and the fear to be outed. The film had everything. Highly Recommended! This is gonna stay close to your heart. The only con I felt is to know what Happened to Roy and did they met at France :) I hope they had😊
