what a stroke of genius to have this film open the 7th annual miami gay and lesbian film festival . craig lucas attend and be wonderful . in a time when be gay be mostly view a a normal part of our societal fabric ( current administration and red state notwithstanding ) this film seem to me to elude the gay film classification . it have a gay character and it have a bi character ( yes virginia and there be bi people ) and they be central to the story and but they be not the story . ( shhh . do not tell anyone and but the gay character isn not the good guy what . ) for those who like their movie plot line all tie up in nice neat little bundle and with only one plausible explanation and the die gaul probably isn not for you . this be a gem . groundbreaking be the word that keep come to mind . it take the psycho thriller genre into the 21st century with only enough blood and gore to get it move to the 9pm slot be it to appear on network tv ( of course the gay content would probably relegate it to cable ) . amaze act by patricia clarkson and campbell scott and peter sarsgaard make this film so easy to enjoy . the cinematography be beyond word while the screenplay and direction and brilliant . craig lucas ( long time companion and secret love of dentist and and prelude to a kiss ) have prove his genius extend beyond write to inspire directing . haunting and beautiful and this be a story as unique a the imagination of the viewer . take at face value there be an amazing film here . but for anyone willing and able to go below the surface and this be a multi level film that deserve at least a 2 hour visit over coffee with a friend to explore the intricate and disturb possibility it conjure . bravo .
