His only escape

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2014)

This story is a very oblique approach to reacting to what is expected from people in their lives!
What I'm trying to say is that Don lives in a world of 'expectations'. His father expects him to be 'the ladies man'. His mother expects him to marry & settle down to have children because she wants to be a grandmother. His girlfriend expects him to do what she considers 'male' things which does not include domestic duties. His buddies expect him to be 'the big man' and bag a chick every night. And to top it off Don himself expects just going to church and confession makes him OK!
His porn is his only time when there are no expectations pulling him in different directions. It's just him being himself with no 'judgement by others' to deal with.
Then he meets Esther - and a whole new door to himself opens for him to discover.
This is a fine movie with many hidden messages!
