Hard to root for these characters...

I really didn't know what to expect when I came into this film. I had already been spoiled about the taboo subject matter presented in the film but even if I hadn't, it would've been obvious very early on. There lies the problem for me. I also wasn't very enamored with the acting and a few reactions came across as very off to me.The film would have you believe that this is supposed to be this HUGE secret but the brothers do an absolute horrid job of hiding what was going on from the inappropriate looks and touching they shared to the eventual (not quiet) sex between the brothers in the room right next to the boyfriend. Even if I were hoping the brothers would end up together, the cheating and leading the already clearly unstable younger brother on would've put me off any possibility I might have originally felt.I don't even understand how some couldve even remotely wished for them to run away and be together in the end. Both brothers' behavior made me angry as Hell. They knew full well this couldn't happen yet kept putting themselves in blatantly inappropriate situations. They can't even be real brothers anymore at this point because of their actions and the boyfriends reaction to finding out made zero sense to me. I would've cussed them both out and left that same night. Maybe he kept quiet because he knew it would've been really bad if he had blown up I dunno. I don't even understand how he stayed with him tbh but my mom does always say "you'd be surprised what some people can look the other way on".They were never gonna be happy together because even if they ran away, their incestuous nature was always gonna be kept a secret. They were never gonna be able to tell old friends or even new friends the whole truth.Ultimately, the last portion of the film was just very bizarre. I already didn't agree with what the brothers were doing but everything they did throughout the movie just pushed their relationship deeper into the hole from which they could never return. I'm not sure what the youngest one actually thought was gonna happen and I'm disappointed in the older one because he at least seemed stable and was trying to have a normal relationship and move past this but too easily fell back into old bad habits. Neither brother didn't seem to much mind how much turmoil they were causing the other either.

TERRIBLE dialogue

Subject matter is great. Dialogue is horrible. It's too formal sounding.

Really liked it! Didn't mind the pace.

I had read reviews about how the pace was plodding along throughout the movie, but this did not bother me at all. Yes, some of the script sounded a bit wooden, but in general it was very sincere and I thought they handled the subject matter very well. The performances by the actors were very good and I thought the cinematography did the job too, even though there wasn't anything fancy.
