Truth

This has got to be one of the worst movies I've decided to endure until the end.

I now know what happens when theater kids and friends get to make their own movie. I don't know what's worse: the acting or the script. No. I'm lying. The acting is slightly more atrocious.

If you need to be entertained by watching a trainwreck, this movie (and Andrew Christian ad) is for you.

Again, people with Borderline Personality Disorder are portrayed as psychopaths. Borderline Personality Disorder is a form of PTSD and an insidious damaging condition. People with this condition hurt a great deal, and it is always because of parental emotional and verbal abuse, blaming the child for their parents problems and mistakes, often physical violence in the home, and at times sexual abuse. Self esteem is low because they were raised in chaotic, unstable families and were not given the unconditional love children need from their parents to develop self esteem and the ability to have healthy relationships with others. Their feelings were continually invalidated. It's a shame this movie just adds to the stigmatization, and Rob Moretti should be ashamed of not only his bad acting, but for making this bad, stigmatizing film. Twice as bad because the character with the condition was gay. Even the medication given to help people with this condition is stigmatized. Just an all around awful film.

Having read others' reviews of this "suspenseful, psychological thriller", some important aspects of the psychology, essential to understanding Caleb's "breaking point", are the role of the absent, but powerful presence of a father, not just the rejecting mother; and secondly the very final somewhat disturbing scene, where, after the psychologist once again says, "now let's start at the beginning", we have a somewhat bruised Caleb watching Jeremy at play with his small son, suitably wearing the coloured bib, "Dad's Angel". This scene opens up another level of depth to the film.

I pulled this movie up in Dekkoo, without knowing much about it. Overall, it was a disappointing evening.

The film is mostly decently acted, but rather slow. It jumps back and forth in time, and I found the flashbacks much more interesting than the main story line. Caleb's mom does the best acting in the movie.

Most of the scenes with the two men are painfully slow and drawn out during much of the film.

The end of the story is hinted at in the first moments of the movie.

The story revolves around two men who meet on an app, enjoy a sex-filled night, followed by a 3-day hiatus. One of them has very strong abandonment issues. When they meet again their relationship takes off and deepens, and they expose more truths about themselves, revealing secrets they've kept from others.

But insecurity drives one to delve deeper into a darker secret of the other, which leads to a turn of events in the story, and a change in the relationship.

Suddenly it's "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane." Okay, this is not a a completely unbelievable change, given the insecurities of the protagonist. But the ending?

If anyone knows what the ending of this movie actually is, please post it!!! I was left wondering... "What the...!"

It's refreshing to see a film that isn't predictable. I had no idea what would happen in the second half and was quite surprised. I typically don't like flashback type films, but it worked with this one. I thought these guys' relationship could work, despite emotional problems until more was revealed. This isn't something I'd see twice, but it was good the first time around. I admit I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending, but it is possible the writer wanted to leave something for the viewers to decide for themselves. I enjoyed the suspense and not knowing what was going to happen.
