I liked it

I liked .First for the virtue to be perfct story after a tough job day - minimalist story, young people, ordinary situation, a guy buying a bike for his boy friend and, after break up , being introduced in party life of Berlin, some hot scenes - not so hot but imagiation of viewer is efficient and Lorenz Hochhuth - reminding the young actor from Cocodrilo by Jorge Yufice Yudice.So, not bad. But just pleasant for atmosphere and reasonable performances.

It Was Terrible

DrifterWe again had a reductive movie about gay men and the scene, this time in Berlin. They seemed to undertake a tick box of tropes, we had every form of drug taking fuelling sex parties. We had transitory relationships that constantly repeated introductory material, how old are you, what your name, what are you into, how old are you, believe me relationships moved beyond this.Then we had the preoccupation that someone always wants to be in a relationship and they are worried about being alone, what rubbish!We then had a series of Monday botched sex scenes that really in 2024 failed to titillate.The story was vestigial the acting stiff there was little narrative flow. They really wasn't any story to speak of apart from some newbie coming to Berlin and experiencing everything for the first time.I'm going to give this a firm 3 out of 10. I was bored senseless.

Beautiful Boys Good Directing

As a fellow film maker let me just say that I enjoyed the humor style and the quality of this film, it made me feel better. The party scenes were fun (made me feel wish i was younger) the acting was good and I was able to identify with some of the characters/not to speak of the locations as they revived old memories I still treasure from my brief tenure in berlin. The types Hannes uses are captivating stud boys with an edge, the sex scenes were erotic and well filmed and the lighting in parts almost seemed experimental but with a German director it is expected as in the tradition of German cinema. Thank you Mr. Hirsch Toby Ross.
