reecethomson Mesmerized by the love and tenderness in it; and the transformation of a backwards country boy into a loving and caring man through his interaction with a migrant farm hand.

mhubbard-54657 The film depicts a young gay British man who is out of the closet. He accepts himself completely. and has anonymous sex, devoid of affection, whenever he can. He lives on the family farm. where his father has been ill. and has lost the ability to manage the place. There are numerous conflicts. To cope with his angst, the young man drinks too way too much. He throws up nearly every morning. A hired hand comes into the picture. and the two eventually begin a sexual relationship. Comparisons to Brokeback are inevitable. The film is emotionally bleak. but beautiful in spots. The dialogue is largely incomprehensible. The male lead learns about love, and is transformed to some degree. Not bad, but I would not see it twice.

m_s_gray One of the best British gay films I've seen! Watch it!

scottinhawaii-1 Rarely are gay movies this good. I see a lot of them and this one stands well above most. Yes it's kind of Brokeback Yorkshire England, but with a happy ending. Terrific acting and the leads have real chemistry. Highly recommended!
