Story: As the summary says, two guys meet. Want to have sex. No room, no go. Yada yada yada.

Acting: Could be anybody on the street. No effort at all. Maybe that's the case.

Music: My dogs barking probably would sound better.

Rewatch value: Eleven minutes of wasted time. Watching a hamster on a wheel may be more exciting.

This review is already long enough for this blip of a film but says must be 500 characters in length before submission so I am just writing to fill up space in the void.

It wasn’t what they tried to make it be

Understanding that this was a short film, I really was not expecting much.

It was a look at the stereotypical gay club lifestyle and hook up culture. But it also wasn’t that.

They tried too hard with this short film, trying to tell a story of connections once sex is removed from the equation. A story of two men learning about one another and finding a bit of themselves in the process.

I think if this had a bit more time to fully round out their development, it would be much better. As is, we are left with doubt and confusion and an open ending.

The actors didn’t make their characters interesting (no real expressions even) and the fact that we had to have two separate scenes with food in one night was unnecessary (time filler?).

The gritty filter on the filming made the scenes and the actors look dirty instead of artistic.

I personally have no interest in ever watching again.
