This film hurt my heart

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2020)

What an incredible film. Watching Jake and Heath I almost forgot I was watching two Hollywood A lister heterosexuals and it was like watching a real love story but the people didn't know they were being filmed. Heath in particular was just so incredible and you could see the torment his character was going through with the pain flowing through his eyes. You soon forget you're watching a "gay love story" and it's just two people falling in love despite themselves. I don't think anyone could have acted it as wonderfully as Jake and Heath did. It was Heath who really made this film for me because his character actually didn't have that many lines yet he told the story of every scene through his face and body language and when it came to the sad end it was almost too painful to keep watching. It was just an amazing film with a beautiful but tragic love story and the ending left me proper sobbing with real ugly crying because I knew that a lot of gay relationships didn't get happy endings at this time and it just reminded me how far we have come and how unfair and cruel life was for people who's only crime was loving someone. Fantastic film!
