Pretty Boy

A delicate subject and the wise manner to use it. A film about marginalisation, social stigma, forms of solidarity, admirable for a sort of poetic mist, result of beautiful acting, fair cinematography and well crafted dialogue. In essence, a portrait , too faithful, of loneliness. Just special.

If this had not been a film short, and was a feature length motion picture, it would have swept the 2018 Oscars! Outstanding performances by the two lead actors. Rebekah Tripp gave the best performance by an actress in a lead role last year. The best acting this reviewer has seen in a very long time. She is riveting and natural. Frankly, she makes the movie. Rebekah, if you are reading this review, congratulations. You should go very far. Note to Casting Directors and agents: Rebekah should be on your short list.

Dad pays to violate son (could happen ok).

Women teaching a guy to think about men whilst making out with females.... (excuse me, no) Father is watching and checking his son to get to the action. (disturbing, but could be real) The professional is soooo rude on the beginning. I can't imagine someone being like that in this profession. And that father WTH. (unrealistic, but not uncalled for)

Messed up story with lot of loopholes. Acting is poor, the Christian element looks forced, making tried to fit as much woke topics in there as possible. Father waiting whole night in the car for his son to hit it... (this is where the movie really loses touch with reality). Dialogue is weird, just cryptic messages that are supposed to hit home.

One redeeming thing is that, I can see how some guys might relate to the topics of pressure and symbolism behind the movie.

One pro tip, if you watch this on YouTube, use the speed up controls to get through it quicker.

In 30 minutes and with basically only one set, this movie can still be touching and complete. Small and great cast.

OMG! Seriously, this is like the best LGBT short I've ever seen. Eat that pumpkin muffin, girl. What a gem! It's on youtube. MUST WATCH. OMFG. Incredible. MUAH xoxo
