En vérité

A relation from beginning to its last consequences. The effort to impress and the try to explore inner demons , maybe forced in few moments , maybe giving to story strong aspect of emotional montagne russe, but having the virtue to enter in crumbs of many details giving roots to frustrations, vulnerability, angry and hard need of other , with terrible consequences. A beautiful film , not great, not original, beautiful more for acting than for story itself. Chronicle of a relation, brutal in few scenes, profound unrealistic in others it is just a decent film, for for the try of a sort of exorcism than for the story itself.

This was an amazing film to watch. So many unexpected things happen turning this movie into a major dramatic ending. No, I won't reveal it.

Direction was wonderfully simple about two men from their first meeting to the ultimate ending. Their relationship, as it develops, changes them both.

Rob Moretti did a triple job with this by playing the lead, writing and directing the film. I assume he also did the editing. A truly difficult job doing any of these jobs. He accomplished them all by bringing us a thoroughly suspenseful and professional movie that really keeps your interest all the way through.

Playing the other lead is Sean Paul Lockhart, ala Brent Corrigan from erotic films, in his first starring "straight" film. Congratulations Sean you have made the big jump doing a super job with a very difficult role. There's no mistaking his good looks. There is a sex scene, done with taste, that shows just how good he was.

But it is the story we watch unfold. Watch these two actors bring the ring of "truth" from their performances to life.

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...!"

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.

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.
