Wahey! It's the gay Easy Rider!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

After the first 10 minutes i feared the worst for this film: the kinda gay drama you've seen a million times before with struggles about coming to terms with homosexuality and lingering shots of naked men by streams. Luckily it got better and turned into a nice understated drama with a lightness of touch I didn't expect. Like Easy Rider, it's Rednecks oppressing a couple of 'weirdos', with lots of beautiful nature shots thrown in and a struggle for the inner soul. But they're not smuggling drugs, they're smuggling homosexuality! You don't have to be gay to enjoy this film. I'm not gay and neither is my flatmate Tobias but we enjoyed it. And so did Malin but she is gay. I wouldn't give it 10 normally, probably 7, but I only give films 10 or 1 so I had to give it 10.
