I watched this movie years ago and the shots I love the most are the empty payphone shots! Very cinematic and they connect the phone call scenes really well W/O a person having to be present!
Whoever did the sound mix for this movie did a horrible job. The dialogue was drowned out by the background noise in so many scenes I eventually gave up trying to understand it.
I loved the pace and dialogue. I'm always happy to see films that don't have loud, cliche fast paced dialogue where people talk incessanyly., which describes most Hollywood movies.
The skyline of Toronto suddenly reminded me of the Canadian movie. And it is very Canadian in terms of weather. I like the slow but steady pace of the development of the relationship. The ending is very upsetting. Basically, it is a high-quality movie.
This was interesting but waay too slow at first. Too much unimportant detail and too much monotony. Also, the two guys that were room mates looked way too much alike, I couldn't tell which one was in the frame half the time. It picked up halfway through and got better. Why was the weather always cold and miserable? These people all had pretty depressing lives
Me neither. At some point I even thought there was something I was missing and that maybe they were the same person and things would be explained to audience at the end (despite the fact they had different names). LOL. Confusing! But worth it. I really enjoyed the film.
That's easy to say! I've been with my roommate for over 2 years, he was supposed to pay me rent, utilities and contribute with the maintenance, none of those things have happened; instead, I "felt in love", bailed him out of jail, etc. I've tried everything to at least be friends from keeping our common place clean, etc. I am in the worst place than at the beginning. It's Christmas, and I don't have the heart to ask him to go
@@alexbelt620Why You share a place with Someone like that ? Bescuse you fall in love ? Baby You need to think if that situation it's good for You and do somenthing. You can love Someone but You need to love You more. The problem it's not chritmas , it's You. Don't be a fool and do somenthing for you. Stop to be a good person and do it
Been there in this same situation and finally came to grips with that I was gay and that I do like being with men but my heart has been broken and now I’m single and just not sure I’ll ever fall in love ever again
Even though I don't know you, I must tell you that you have to keep your faith that you will be in love and happy in a relationship because you deserve it! You deserve it. Don't lose your faith.
no courage. This guy will never be happy. In the true life, it would be different. So many straights who discover love with guys and never come back to girls... I saw it many times. Why makers of moovie will allways tragic end ? Its a mythic vision.
I've always had my relationships with "straight" married and family men, they have happened without looking for them, they feel confidence in me when we treat each other, there is a real thing, they say, their fear is not that they like me, of course, otherwise they wouldn't do it, but the torment that becomes when they chase you and obsess you, if they know that it is to relax both, that's why I never fell in love with any of them, today we are still friends, the saying goes, what starts badly will end badly, Sam was cheating on his partner and became obsessed, with Ryan, he feels something, but fears society, and knows that with him acting like this, it will end badly, it is better to suffer once and not a little every day, I do not dislike the movie😎😎
I have to say that I thought the same thing. I liked the film and the actors playing Ryan and Sam were very good which kept me watching but I think the editing could have been tighter
Sam seems like cheating isn't his first rodeo. All movies, when two guys hook-up, why do they always go after each other like wild animals ? Sam is definitely a hottie. The movie should have been titled, Monotony and it Doesn't Get Any Better...
Good movie with good dialogue, except when the music drowns out their words. All too often the music-tech gets out of control. The music should be background at best, and usually better absent altogether.
Ces deux hommes n'étaient pas honnêtes avec eux mêmes, difficile d'établir une relation harmonieuse. Ainsi va la vie hetéro ou gay! Bons comédiens, merci.
TURN THE SOUNDTRACK DOWN. Otherwise, it's a great movie. These are very common situations between people. It's the reason I could never do anything more than playful flirting with "straight" guys. It's never going to end well. Falling in love with someone who will never honestly love you back.
UA-cam must be kidding! OK they want us to sign up the premium package but the amount of ads it's unacceptable! And the sound quality is terrible, you can't listen the conversation unless the sound is high. I'm watching at night so I had to enable CC that by the way it's horrible! If I was owner of this channel I would have a really serious conversation with UA-cam. The movie doesn't seem too good and having to put up with all these things....not sure that I will watch it all way thru
@zajournals I don't know where are you from but here in Brazil the premium package HAS ads. Fewer but does. Sorry but I will never let any company lead me to do whatever they want me to do by these means. I could sign up for the YT Premium but I'm gonna do it 'cause they are putting a ton of ads in the free content. That's not the way to do business. I'm not be forced to sign up, never!
It's refreshing to see dialogue that resembles more real life as opposed to Hollywood cliches. I don't see how people would cry when they're in denial. I didn't even think the guy was "straight". I thought he was just bi. Unfortunately, this is the 50th or 100th movie where a gay guy falls for a straight guy. We've seen this story before.
Even with a promising plots, they still managed to make it sad ending..I’m really tired of this. And don’t tell me it’s life because why can straight films have happy endings but not gay films?? 😒😒
Sorry but all of the inaudible conversation at the beginning just lost me. Then suddenly at 11:00 there’s a mention of Brad in another inaudible conversation. In a good movie I care about the character(s) by the 30-min mark but that can’t happen if I’m bored by the 12-min mark. Swing and a miss
This movie lasts a couple of hours 😳 : I just have seen a few smiles (probably 5 😉) ! Only Sam sometimes smiles but the face/s in front of him seems to be at a funeral 🙄 And I wish to add that, at least for my mentality, watching TV “ IN BED” with a partner/lover is awful 😫 (unless is a wife or husband married 30 years ago😂😂😂)
extremely boring movie. is there at least one, at least one, lgbt-themed movie that has all the elements of a movie: quick and dynamic change of frames, change of plans, change of shooting angles, quality script with more plot and less of story... You don't need an expensive production for this, just a little bit of imagination.
I watched this movie years ago and the shots I love the most are the empty payphone shots! Very cinematic and they connect the phone call scenes really well W/O a person having to be present!
Just re Watched it. I would have loved a happy ending because they seemed so right for each other.
Just another tragic gay film.
@@JacobSolbux What was so tragic about it? The dude wasn't ready so he just broke it off. Not a tragedy, but life.
Whoever did the sound mix for this movie did a horrible job. The dialogue was drowned out by the background noise in so many scenes I eventually gave up trying to understand it.
Thank you ...I felt the same. Got better towards the end.
I turned on the captions, but it didn’t help much.
I found that tuning off 'stable volume' at the top of settings menu reduces the background noise.
The pace is very sloooow.
LOL. I know, right? Horrible indeed. But I watched it all anyway with captions (didn't help much) because the story was quite appealing to me.
I loved the pace and dialogue. I'm always happy to see films that don't have loud, cliche fast paced dialogue where people talk incessanyly., which describes most Hollywood movies.
Doesnt describe most gay films..
GOOD Movie. I have this my Tubi Playlist.
Can we not have one gay romance with a happy ending? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!
The skyline of Toronto suddenly reminded me of the Canadian movie. And it is very Canadian in terms of weather. I like the slow but steady pace of the development of the relationship. The ending is very upsetting. Basically, it is a high-quality movie.
I loveeeee to hear this movie mentioned my country Belizeeee...my favorite now
It would be less depressing to watch grass grow, and more entertaining.

Did you not notice that it was winter, all the snow is a give away
I am just laughing my heart out .😂😂😂😂
Lol 😂 same here, Couldn’t recognize the roommates at the beginning
Era engraçado como eles não ser engraçados.
Me neither. At some point I even thought there was something I was missing and that maybe they were the same person and things would be explained to audience at the end (despite the fact they had different names). LOL. Confusing! But worth it. I really enjoyed the film.
People need to love themself more to accept the reality and fight for it. We dont need scared people anymore.
That's easy to say!

@Olga-rc4wc You are 💯 right about it. I am working on loving myself more.
@@alexbelt620 good , you can do it ! It's a hard work I know , but you deserved better than that for sure.
Good movie. Ryan has to get his sh*t sorted out and Paul is clearly not happy in his relationship.
Графические пейзажи невероятно хороши! Удовольствие!!!!

@ thank you
Get that.
Too slow for my liking and way too confusing. I couldn't figure out who was gay and who wasn't. I mainly watched it because of lead actor. He's juicy.
lovely
Interesting film, thanks for post it
A happier ending would have been better.
no courage. This guy will never be happy. In the true life, it would be different. So many straights who discover love with guys and never come back to girls... I saw it many times. Why makers of moovie will allways tragic end ? Its a mythic vision.
I saw the opposite happen in real life just like in this movie.. wasted potential freedom

depressing!!!!! and the ending leaves you hopeless.... i was waiting for Sam´s suicide reveal, but then the closing credits started.
Thank God there was no suicide reveal, I fell in love with Sam 🌹❣️
I have to say that I thought the same thing. I liked the film and the actors playing Ryan and Sam were very good which kept me watching but I think the editing could have been tighter
Seeing all the empty pay phones made me wonder where he was really calling from.
good film
What is the purpose of the background sound competing with the dialogue?
40 minutes into it and I haven't understood where it is going.
Sam seems like cheating isn't his first rodeo. All movies, when two guys hook-up, why do they always go after each other like wild animals ? Sam is definitely a hottie. The movie should have been titled, Monotony and it Doesn't Get Any Better...
I think Ryan was the hot one
Sam is not as hot as Ryan.

Um belíssimo melodrama com sabor aos anos 50...
Year? Director?
Another depressing gay themed movie.
Definitely right on that.
It's pretty obvious that slow comes to the surface in the film
Thats basically what I said.. im sick of these films painting such stories
Ryan was the main feature of ghis film
el hombre en la tierra es un extranio
TURN THE SOUNDTRACK DOWN.
Otherwise, it's a great movie.

Very Mike Leigh. Naturalistic dialogue probably made up on the hoof. Ryan went in too 'far' and then he flipped.
I was not amused by Sam's actions. Not my favorite film but not bad.
Que final más Triste

A closet case young man trying to find his way w a trail of broken hearts
Explanation in the film. It makes me wonder other similar films haven't seen yet?
Belize is not South America.
Always sad ending....
Low budget movie....a bit boring....the positive point is that the guy is cute...😂
Even with a promising plots, they still managed to make it sad ending..I’m really tired of this. And don’t tell me it’s life because why can straight films have happy endings but not gay films?? 😒😒

i like these kinds of movies. mostly voyeuristic, just watching people hang out. does anyone think the gay guy killed himself?
So please... every poeple will have a second chance.. if not... make it a third one
Started so slow and the guys look way too alike which was annoying trying to tell them apart 😢but nice non the less !
I only made it 11 minutes in, sorry
Same.can't watch it out at all
Sorry to be honest... its still in complete
Um ok so is there a part 2? How rude!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Was a great until the end kinda leave you wondering..
I hope they didn't spend alot of money on this movie.

What's wrong with watching TV with your partner or whoever if you feel like it?
Could have edited this long boring film into 20 minutes or less!
I liked the pace.
These characters are all on the spectrum. Monosyllabic and completely messed up.
very old movie started super slow nothing to do nothing exited very monotone o well I hated
Я не понимаю Английский язык
我不靠男人不靠权贵。
Filme triste
Aburrida y muy lenta
Así mismo , 35 mn me bastan
Para nada aburrida. Tal vez te convenga ver alguna otra película más trillada y superficial.
I want flamboyant gay comedy with happy ending, not this depressed something
Absolutely not.
@donquijotedelamancha3529 you are not me, dear. You can't decide what I want.
@ And who's doing that?

Being gay is a choice.. is hu u r!!!! Dats wat god gave u... EVERYRHING IS ALL ABOUT LOVE.. AM I RYT?? PLEASE ANSWER ME WEN U GET QUESTION

Worse gay movie ever, I could write a better story
