Skewed snapshot of gay men

This is a beautifully shot eyeful with a good score, decent acting, and good production values. It concerns a gay American artist living in Colombia, who has no self-esteem, spending the film chasing after, falling in love with, and being emotionally *and physically* abused by, straight guys. Yes, there are self-loathing, dysfunctional gay men like this, just as there are straight analogues. I don't know whether this is supposed to be humorous (it doesn't seem to be) but given that cinema tends to make audiences read minority characters as archetypes or stereotypes, this is a film straight people shouldn't see, especially those who don't know many real gay men--who are absolutely *not* like this. I was very uncomfortable throughout this film. The complexity of the relationships is also never explained: best friends--one straight, the other other gay, and the straight friend's ostensibly straight brother for whom the gay friend falls in love at his dire peril, causing a whirlwind of havoc, with no background information. The version issued in 2019 and reviewed by everyone here is highly re-edited--for the better, I might add, running 87 minutes. The 92-minute run time listed on IMDb (actually 91 1/2 minutes) refers to the initial 2017 release.

The quintessential " Movie"

Great topic that needs to be explored, written about and even filmed about...however this movie falls way short of doing the topic any justice. Too much attempt at the typical "artsy-fartsy" approach at movie making. Something quite common in the Gay movie Genre and most definitely with Broken Glass Pictures. Story line was lost, acting (other than Peter Vack) was mediocre, and so many more failures plague this movie. I hope someone can take this topic and do it justice. It really could be a good movie. Yes, gay men do fall in "love" (more like infatuated) with straight men, and yes there are "straight" men who have not come to terms with their sexuality. Yes, I am gay.

These Characters are Not Healthy

The voice over intro sets the stage: Christian's brother Cole is coming to Columbia, too, because "he's just had a manic episode from a bad break up." Manic is the upside of bi-polar. Depressiveness is the downside. Bi-polar is a serious mental illness.Ivan is admittedly self-loathing, having affair after affair with unavailable straight men.The surrounding characters are full of joy, esp the gender fluid one. But we don't get very far into their psyches.It's a bad mix from the start, but the sexual tension is well portrayed and we can't help but watch the proverbial train wreck.The ending left me feeling as though they deserve each other. Pathetic tropes both in desperate need of therapy and a supportive community.
