The Moment After

I was totally blown away by this film. Without giving anything away, it was the heights of exhilaration and the depths of despair all rolled up in one. Quite a roller coaster for the emotions. I look forward to what Gerald will do next!

a great achievement from a fresh voice. technically mesmerizing. it is so difficult to tell a story in a few minutes. The Moment After achieves this successfully. There wasn't a moment of wasted time. Tightly edited and tightly scripted. The nudity didn't hurt either.

Like a programmer of Gay & Lesbian Film Exhibition from Barcelona, I must say the Moment After is a very important film to be shown in that kind of Festivals but also in the Festivals of general issues (good script/ history and very good realization).

The moment after is a very well contructed drama with an unexpected final, and transmits a lot of feelings. When I decided to program the film, I did it after seeing the pre-view tape, I decided, with no doubt, that the film has to be shown. First for the movie in itself, the history. But then for what transmits, at least to gay and lesbian people but I think also heterosexual people can share the feeling, the decision, the idea that i'm sure mostly of homosexual people though once in "That moment" in one moment of their live. And after seeing the film you think: "lucky to have the moment after".

If you have the oportunity you have to see it: DO IT!. Doesn't matter if you are gay or not, because is an interesting and good movie and you will understand certain moments of gay people lives.

Thanks Gerald for this Moment. People who attend the Exhibition liked the movie the puntuation given by the audience (1 to 5) was 4.2 (average), GOOD. We wait for your next movie!

I must say that I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this "gay" film. Now, after seeing the film I can honestly say that I hate the fact that this film has any "label" other than "outstanding". Seeing this movie from the eyes of a "straight" man, I can say that the movie really touched me. It gives the audience an amazing insight into life and the opportunities that knock on our door everyday. In a world where so many people are starving for love, this beautiful movie reminds us that often love is right in front of our faces and all we have to do is open our arms and embrace it. What I really love about this movie is that it's themes are universal- black, white, gay, straight, male, female....whatever! I take my hat of to Mr. McCullough and I hope we'll soon see more of his incredible and courageous vision.

This movie kept me guessing. I kept trying to discern what was beneath the action. The flashbacks offer insight without giving away the story. I was completely caught by surprise. The fast pace of the movie compells the viewer to be cerebral, yet intimacy lurks throughout the film. We bounce between joy and sorrow and become reminded of those we love as well as the crazy friends who love us. Then as the mood turns we are blasted by the tradgedy. There are very few of us that don't know someone who has befallen such a tradgedy and many of us have indeed asked ourselves "I wonder what went through his/her mind." This film explores that and the deep sorrow of ...the moment after. A great story
