wflanders-844-315305 The 4 actors in this movie are better than a lot of those main stream actors praised by the media. The plot is so meaningful that reflects the lives o at least 3 of the best football players in our generation, because if they come out, they are done. The movie is not "claustrophobic", the rooms reflect how they have to live their intimate life, in a box. But for the unsophisticated "revivers", most likely either homophobic or the type who can only post negative views - reflecting what they feel inside - did not get the main message of the movie: Power - Shame - Insecurity Societal and Professional Homophobic rules -and bad choices that can all lead to deep unhappiness and misery. Great movie, great actors, great story but sad and reflective of how unfair life can be.

johnwiltshireauthor Yet again I have to point out that films like this are not real movies-- or shouldn't be sold and marketed as such anyway. Sure, people are on camera and there are sets, but where's the acting? Where are the writers? Nah. Given most of the creative output of the world is made by gay men (okay, I'm biased but I'm also entitled to my own opinion), why the heck aren't gay men making decent movies for themselves rather than this? I'm embarrassed to even say I watched this. Imagine inviting friends around and trying to get them to watch a "gay" movie and then showing them this utter drivel. I've been watching the trailers for God's Own Country. It looks very promising. I'm hoping it will be the gay movie I've been waiting for. But whatever--this certainly wasn't it.

Rodolphe Fleury It's long, claustrophobic and boring. Ben A Young forgot what is cinema while adapting a play, cinema isn't theatre, it's also images just not lazily filming people talking. The photography is just okay, the mise en scène mediocre. The performances ain't bad, Russel Tovey and Nico Mirallegro are excellent, Arinzé Kene does his best with what he's been given, Lisa McGrillis is at best forgettable. The problem is that the characters are not very well developed. It feels like watching a never-ending short movie, 20 minutes that would feel like 2 hours. There's just not enough material to make a long feature really. The script is not that bad but the dialogues are not terrible, but pretty mediocre, It's meant to be deep, but it's all forgettable, cliché and trying hard to shock but it's just manage to be tiring. That film felt like watching paint drying then peeling.

sinnerofcinema I had the pleasure of watching this film during the 2017 Outfest Film Festival in Los Angeles and all I kept thinking to myself is WOW! This film was so well done and real to life. I actually know several personal friends who have chosen the path of career over finding true love. The results can be loneliness and missed opportunities. This film shows three different stages where love opportunities where missed over career goals. There are many levels to this film so I won't give anything from this film away. You MUST watch this film with an eye for details for there are many layers of story being told simultaneously. The actors were superb. Specially the main character who carried the film very well with conviction and authenticity. Kudos to him. Highly recommended. Beautifully done and executed.
