Netflix (streaming).we watched Friday nite...almost 2 hours long...very disturbing.......

I rented this from Netflix, and watched it last night. Much less than meets the eye. I can see where the opening and ending might be disturbing, but there's a long, dry stretch in between. Held my interest, but I wouldn't recommend that you devote two hours of your time to this.

Disagree. It is a well-spent 2 hours. Some very serious ideas are explored.

I also found the middle somewhat tedious....but had to see how it progressed....The European Gay movies are so superior to the mindless tripe American films churn out....Netflix has a good selection....just watched The Falls last night....2 Mormon boys in Oregon....mostly dialog that was stilted....kept wanting to turn it off..but also wanted something to happen....

I agree with you Thick. The European and Central/S. American gay films are far superior to US gay films. Check out Quatro Lunas (Mexico). It was excellent!

Memory fails me but over the past ~15 years there have been a few good gay-themed films from Canada. Caught a couple on indie cable TV. Quiet, underplayed, naturalistic; quite unlike the typical U.S. product. What were they?!

Thanks Thick; Added to my queue. Other Spanish language films I recommend are Undertow (Peru) and Hawaii (Argentina). I'm leaning Spanish (albeit slowly) and watching these films along with other Spanish language stuff has really helped me.
