August

Mostly good story about love, lust, indecision, trust. The time jumps were a little confusing. Forward back, forward back. Troy's hair is long, then short. Then long, then short again. Did you recognize murray bartlett from season one of white lotus ? He was the hotel manager. In "august", all three characters have flaws. Troy tries to get between his ex jonathan, (who HE dumped!) and the exotic new boyfriend. Jonathan strings along the ex, who has returned, and the new boyfriend. Raul is very patient, waiting for jonathan to make up his mind, but has his communication issues. And he's trying to get his papers to stay in the country, which may be adding elements to the story. Long pauses. Lots of dirty looks from raul to jonathan, when he probably should have been saying what's on his mind. The ending makes sense, but kind of just trails off... almost like there's going to be a sequel. A little confusing. Well done. It was good to see a film that just dealt with everyday issues, and nothing too deep. Directed by eldar rapaport.

What do we have here? An attractive cast, gorgeous photography, a story older than water, non-existent direction and a screenplay that should send the writer into medieval torture chamber of unemployable, talentless graphomaniacs.

The movie does not raise any questions, does not upset nor observe. It is in fact a wooden dud which by definition fails to detonate due to its poor design. As a consequence the sex is not sexy and the drama is not dramatic.

Ladies... even the music is not musical. I give it a 2 because it is nice to look at when Raul is on - he is about the most sexy, dramatic and musical thing in this tripe of a movie.

A boring movie about love affairs made for teenagers with lots of blank spaces.

I was a nice portrait of lost love The hurt The missing The Lust The Affection The crazy person who you can never get over with, I mean never. Movie started of with lost lover troy coming back to L.A cause he misses his old life, and for love of his life Jonathan. And Jonathan is living with his lover Raul, who's is an immigrant. And he's married to one of Jonathan BFF Nina. Movies takes is turns and kinda of slowly in the middle, but I enjoy the end feeling of the movie. And movies gives you a feeling that love never die that easy, and its never easy to let go for the person who you long for, the person who hurt you so much still does matter. And all you left is hurt, its a feeling that we never wanna let go.

I hate to disagree with the previous reviewers but I feel this story is all about Troy thinking he is going to find is lost youth by going back to L.A. and seeking out Jonathan!

What Troy fails to realize is that Jonathan went on with his life and found a like soul in Raul ... until Troy comes back on the scene. Jonathan is captivated by Troy and their memories and is willing to give him what he wants while not realizing Raul is incensed by this behavior.

This is a complex story as Raul has two things to possibly loose, Jonathan is crossing over into his 30th years and needs to grow up and Troy will never know what he wants in his life.

The story is expertly told with sudden short flash backs of what happened just before the scene we are watching. It's a movie that one must watch attentively - an expert job of editing and writing. It will leave you wondering just what will happen with Raul & Jonathan!
