One word : Boring

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2006)

I never leave the cinema halfway through a film. Never. I was sorely tempted to here.
To be honest - I don't know what all the fuss is about. The movie, is plain and simple - boring. I left the cinema wondering where 2 hours of my life went. Aside from the very choppy editing which gives the viewer no real idea as to the passing of time, and the monotonous soundtrack comprising of four notes and a chord, there really wasn't any story. There wasn't much conflict, and well, the characters went from not saying two words to each other to lovers in a matter of seconds, while each insisted they were straight. There would be some conflict there.
What is also a shame is how this film, used the taboo it concerns to make itself successful, whereas really the love story should have been it. The same story could have been told about a straight couple (seeing as both characters were in other relationships - it would be a different taboo) - I really think the director missed a trick there.
I was very disappointed with this film.
There was some nice scenery, and some great acting, but in my opinion these were not good enough to carry the film. Shame really.
