- Quotes
Doc: My obsession has grown... into longing. It's like I wanna take care of him. I don't want him to make a living from the dollars of gropers anymore. I don't want him to seem as an object by anyone but me. I just want to rip that hat off his head so the world can see his eyes and not his ass. I'm really confused.

With that being said the film is quite good. The story is a painful, and a painfully accurate exploration of several major tensions present within the gay community. The notions of too much sex, the cost-benefits assimilation, how to be gay, the various "tribes" of gay men and fickle nature of the male gaze all get a hearing in the film. I related to much of it but I can't say I found it much more than hey this problem exist. A lot of it is left unresolved. That is probably a realistic viewpoint but it adds to the indie vibe of the film.
The film is quite forward in its depiction of homoeroticism. I found the sex scenes very naturalistic. I am not sure if I have seen gay sex depicted as realistic as I have seen here. The film does provide a nice counterpoint to the heteronormative depictions of the male form one usually finds.
I am glad I own this but it is a challenging film to watch.
