darebear2001 I have stumbled upon this charming and delightful short film and have come back to watch it over and over again. I enjoy watching movies from other parts of the world and the setting of a Scottish bog with all the scary stories is truly refreshing. The acting by these two young men is admirable and the story is plausible and realistic. The dynamics between these two characters are palpable and gut-wrenching. The internal struggles of Stu and the adoration of Davy plays itself out in ways that one might expect but the journey to the destination is as real as anything. Truly magical and I appreciated the lack of extras or "Hollywood Flash" - definitely not needed in what was certainly a one-act play brought to life on the screen. Bravo. Well done! Now I'm going to go watch it again! Cheers!

Gordon-11 This film is about two young teenage boys meeting in a forest to deal with their affection for each other."Davy and Stu" is a low budget production. There is no set, no costumes and no extra actors. It is a film in its simplest form. The plot is simple, and very heavy in dialog. Unfortunately, the strong Scottish accent makes the dialog hard to understand. The plot is quite predictable, following a formulaic pattern. Though it is interesting to see what the boys would be up to, I lost interest because of the lack of engaging plot and the constantly incomprehensible dialog. I think I would have enjoyed it better if it was in a more English accent.

rayjaygee This short film tells the story of two young Scottish lads who have met in the damp marshes for one of their secret rendezvous. What ensues is a powerful mix of forbidden love, teenage-angst energy and tender affection."Davy & Stu" is a fine example of great acting. Both actors give strong, convincing performances. In particular, Nicholas Cutro(Stu) manages to convey the emotional intensity of his character, without over-acting or spelling-it-out for the audience. Words can be deceiving; the facial expressions, and especially the eyes, are more than enough to tell the truth of a character. From Cutro's performance, we understand Stu's internal struggle; the relentless pressures of social acceptability and his intense (almost over-powering) love for Davy.This is a very enjoyable and touching short film. Hopefully these young actors will continue with their acting careers, as they put some veteran Hollywood actors to shame.
