1 hour movie way better than many movies. For gay theme, it's really exceptional. It's very natural for all the acting. The Syria man and Germany man meet for paid serve relationship and what happens between them is love, sympathy or hatefulness ? All just a thin line to define.

The production is good, and the guy has a nice apartment too. The two characters are likable, but there is but enough story to fill one hour. Perhaps there can be more back story to develop the characters, or more exploration on Waseem's internalised homophobia.

Good movie just too short needed to be longer and give us a real conclusion.

This movie should have been longer. They were definitely on the right path and if they had developed it past the one hour to like a hour and forty five minutes, I believe this would have been a movie for the ages Loved it.

I love this, a good movie bring good emotion. I can't describe clearly how in feel after watch it, but it's a good pain, good experience that i really wanna try again and again.

Around 2015-2016, refugee issue was explosive in Europe. Film makers wouldn't miss the opportunity of this human tragedy and drama, and the motive trickled in a few gay themed films too... but I find them rarely satisfying. I think main loophole is taking a refugee issue as mere dramatic device; failing to deliver much more than very generic "he's a refugee, must've gone through a hard time, left with an wounded soul...".

Unfortunately 'Label Me' is not free from the loophole. Waseem is pictured as a pretty generic closeted gay Middle eastern. Beyond that we hardly see anything much more that makes a character truly alive. Why is he here, how did he get here, what does he really want? And it's not just Waseem. We are equally left blank about Lars. I really don't see why he gets almost obsessed with Waseem beyond a passing curiosity when there's hardly any chemistry between the two.

Without the life, blood and chemistry, what's left is cool 'feel' akin to a chic commercial fashion plate. It's a bit like Lars' apartment; clean, stylish, modern, grey and lifeless.

Wish this had of been longer. The story line, the camera shots, the chemistry all fantastic. Bravo! Like I mentioned, just wish this wasn't a short film.

Individuals in societies dominated by patriarchy are ashamed of their feelings and try to prevent them. I think the individuals of developed, equal and secular societies cannot understand this.

The story tells of a man who fled the war in Syria and had sex with gay men for money, living in a refugee camp and living with his German client. It talks about the non-acceptance of the self and the psychology of immigrants.

Movie also talks about the phobia of the bottom role in gay relationships.

The movie was interesting but could have been more professional. At the same time, the duration of the movie was short. Definitely It is a watchable movie.
