hddu10 There is definitely a "made for TV" feel for this production, yet at the same time it had several interesting and revealing aspects. The film centers around a number of people who either live near Clapham Junction, or those who pass through the Heath or "park" (an area known as a gay meeting site) for one reason or another. London today is notoriously liberal and pro-gay almost to the point of being visited by thought police to insinuate otherwise, and the plot centers around several gay men who range from open or "out", closeted (married to women), discovering and even self-loathing. Yet London is also full of random violence, as it is a big city with a very drunken population at any given time; a theme which manifests itself throughout this piece. I'm not a prude, but the male nudity in this piece went beyond gratuitous and bordered on obscene (there was absolutely no reason for the last scene with the young actor). So, somewhat interesting, but creepy in a "getting hit-on by your uncle" way.

jmcgurn As I gay man, I really liked this film. A more positive vision for at least a few of the characters would have made the movie better. But the acting is very good and violence against gay men still exists today. I have to say that I did not have a problem with the relationship between Theo & Tim. I do not support pedophilia by any means(!), but at 14 ("almost fifteen"), Theo is sexually mature and not confused about his sexuality. He seduces Tim; Tim asks him to leave (4 times I think). I don't believe we know for a fact that Tim is a pedophile. It's only word of mouth from Theo's mother, so consider the source! Their scenes together are quite moving.Watch this film but beware, some of what you will see is very disturbing.

chrisjay00-1 After much publicity by Channel 4, Clapham Junction started off slow and honestly quite dull. As time went on the plot line began to pick up yet you were still unable to empathise with any of the characters. The programme was cliché ridden and also contained scenes which were pointless at the very least. Three quarters into the show everything began to get confusing again. The character played by Paul Nicholls was also very confusing. Was he gay? Was he straight? There was a very dark mood throughout the whole programme which continued even to the end. As the end approached, i found myself asking questions about what would happen to certain characters. I was sure this would appear on the screen before the end credits. It didn't. And so the audience is left with not only a cliff hanger but also many questions about most of the main characters unanswered. Good performances by the actors involved but i can't help but feel that had some of the pointless scenes been cut, the running time could have been shortened and the programme could have concentrated on a lot less pointless characters. I also felt slightly confused by the inclusion of the small black child playing the violin at certain periods in the programme. By the end the dark mood became even darker when all that was left was his smashed up violin under a bridge. Cue the end credits. All in all a huge disappointment

gaytooout Comparing it to the other European heterosexual crap we get to see on TV, I would rate this gay one into the top league of good movies. As a gay man, I wonder why I like it. The message of this movie is that gays have ONLY bitchy sex, on public toilets and all of that in a violent way. To put this straight, gay life isn't that way! I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories but somehow, I hear all my alarm bells ringing. To make it short, the movie is good for people who are gay or who have at least experience with it. To all the newbies to that subject it's an anti gay movie. Please remember this story is fiction. 'Not a documentary!
