Sundays opens with a driving lesson which is played out with close shots, furtive looks, and suggestive fingering; all to the sound of an anthem from Erasure. On one hand it feels like it is trying to be subtly suggestive, but then on the other hand it is clunky as anything. So when the 'twist' comes it is not really a surprise but rather a relief that the viewer doesn't have to pretend that it is mysterious. From here the film gets better as it allows us the Brokeback moments of character. Bifulco does well with this, but the film offers him too little too late really. These moments make it worth a look, but the weak opening and rather direct line means it is much more limited than it would have you believe.
