RIALTO

 

[+ MysticMenace]

the trailer looks promising...looks like it is available on prime video - thanks for sharing!

It’s a sad tale. Really depressing.

Regardless. It's perfectly crafted. The performance of the main actor was superb. Loved it!

Here's the review. Keep in mind Variety rarely writes negative reviews. Haven't watched it yet, it seems pretty typical, which is not a bad thing. Look forward to watching it, thank you for bringing it to us Orville; I am fond of movies featuring male prostitutes :-)

Hopefully you can answer this without any spoilers: what is the significance of "Rialto"? Are they referring to the famous bridge? If so, how does that tie in with a Dublin dockworker?

I can't say if it's a spoiler or not as I haven't seen the fillum, but Rialto is a suburb of Dublin. That cold be the link, it may be where it's set. Rialo is on the Irish Grand Canal, and there is a Rialto bridge that crosses the canal.

Thanks, now I get it. I was truly baffled by how the Venetian landmark tied in with a working-class Dubliner.

 

The movie has mixed reviews on imdb, but in the trailer, the lead looks like a heck of an actor, as @orville points out. Might be worth watching for his performance alone.

Yes, do it, you won't regret it.

I highly recommend "God's Own Country" with Josh O'Conner who plays Charles in The Crown. Brokeback Mountain in the Scottish dales. (And Josh is endowed).

"Your Heart is Homeless"

 

 

Excellent eye candy, although the title is accurate

And Tom Glynn-Carney ain’t bad to look at! I had a little trouble following the Irish accents. I “tink”!

it's actually set in Yorkshire, which is in England
