I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, but, truth be told, it didn't impress me all that much. Basically, this is a story of first love, or, more specifically, first GAY love. The scenery was beautiful, the bodies bronzed and gorgeous, but the performances were OK and the direction was average. I found myself dozing off during the many loooooong takes of various scenes (i.e., did we really need to see the cat eating the spaghetti for more than a couple of seconds?). For me, I would rather have seen more interaction between the two young men. I really didn't care that the caretaker/best friend character was a lousy cook. That scene where everyone is sitting around the table talking about how no one likes her food was, like, SO WHAT! That was my main problem with this movie: too much time was spent on things that had no direct connection with the story and were, in reality, rather distracting and boring. As someone who has experienced first gay love, I was hoping this movie was going to speak to me more candidly, but, unfortunately, it served only to get me in the mood to go to sleep.
