MaybeTomorrow I decided to write this review because i see allot of negativity on this film here, of which i believe isn't deserved. "Between love & goodbye" is a small and solid film. Sure it isn't perfect, but which movie is? As the title gives away, it's about falling in love and also out of it. It features overly sweet moments between the two boys that seem too much, but if you have been in love yourself, you will recognize these little moments and know them to be true. I've read complaints about the film being too over dramatic and "unreal", which might be the case for some people, but once again, if you have lived through bad breakups as well, you'll know things can go that way and in real life. The acting is not awful. I felt it to be genuine. It's not the greatest you'll ever see but it is not bad. The bitchy sister seems over the top, but i know people who act like that, so i had no trouble accepting that performance at all. They do exist! ha ha. The film features some nice music. Personally i think there's a bit too much of it, but since the lyrics are about the relationship between the boys, it's cool. Overall, a movie worth watching. It kept coming back to me in the days after, which to me is always a good sign. 8/10.

Nylercandy I don't understand how people cannot like this movie. I guess I identified with the characters and the situation, having gone through a similar breakup minus the transsexual brother/sister, the fake marriage and the immigration problems. I think the film accurately depicted how small things can bring about the fallout in a relationship. Sometimes it's not huge fights or massive problems that end relationships, but simple things like whispered words by family members, a hateful sibling or an overbearing mother etc. Like I said, I went through a situation like this with my ex-boyfriend, and sadly, it did not last. The fight scene in the kitchen really gave me chills. I felt as if I was watching a scene of my life. You could tell they were angry at each other, but that they did not really want to hurt each other. It's hard to explain.I think the acting was not great but it was good enough to make me believe in them, and I could tell they really loved each other in the beginning and it was sad (kind of melancholic) to see it all fall apart that way. The dialog was a little silly at the beginning when they first met and were falling in love, but if you have ever been in love you would know that we all say girly, silly things like that. (Repeating I love you a hundred time, writing love poems, kissing at every second possible). Take note that Kyle made fun of Marcel's letter towards the end showing that he no longer thought it to be cute but instead kind of ridiculous. We are all ridiculous when falling in love. And cruel when falling out of it. And that is sad.The only complaint I have about the movie is the ending. I think it was unnecessary, and it left me feeling a little cheated. But overall it was a great movie and I would recommend it. It's definitely better than some of the crap that's out there.

guil fisher I had just seen another Casper Andreas vehicle last night in NYC called The Big Gay Musical and found it to be a charming film. Then lo and behold I get Between Love and Goodbye in the mail as my Netflix DVD. Not realizing that Casper Andreas too wrote this and directed it. I also remember him as an actor in Slutty Summer. Here are three film entries by the same person and all different. A musical, drama and comedy starring the author himself. Quite a courageous attempt. Now the acting in this from Simon Miller and Justin Tensen as the two lovers was excellent and natural. They seemed to have a good rapport between them. Whether in the bedroom making love, or striking out at each other, it all seemed very natural. However, you didn't know who to route for when the split comes. Now enter the sibling of one of the boys, a woman, changed from a man, and changed back to a woman and then a man again. You dislike her/him for meddling and causing the entire breakup. Role is played well by Rob Harmon. Jane Elliott as the best lesbian friend turned in a great performance. Believable throughout. And Deirdre Brennan as the Interviewer was wonderful. Cold and indifferent with absolutely no sense of humor. I loved her.Now I will argue about the end without giving it away. I didn't like the choice of Mr. Andreas. I felt after two hours of the ups and downs in a gay marriage, there could have been hope given, especially with today's day and age and same sex marriage. It could have inspired others to believe it could happen. There can be a happy ending in a gay film. Shame on you Casper.

zyzyb2k The writer/director based the story on a very old premise: boy meets boy, each fall heavily. Then, the 'troubled' transsexual sibling of one of them inserts her/himself into the guys' early courtship. To muddy this setup further, one half is a French national who enters into a 'Green Card' wedding with a not-too-cooperative lesbian friend.From incredible bliss one moment, to a 180-degree flip of one half, falling for every ploy by the transsexual sibling, without any questioning at all. The broken-hearted other half just pines tearfully, his entreaties to his other half completely ignored.The siblings represent the worst stereotypes: vain, flighty, young queer, with no moral center. Troubled transsexual who is a leech, a thief, and a vicious liar.This script could not have been saved by a good director. Whatever acting capabilities possessed by this crew, are completely absent in this production.Painful to watch, don't waste your time.
