I love 'gay themed' indie films. But so frequently the story line is a drag, the characters often fuel those stereotypes about folks who lead alternate lifestyles.
In addition, I often find the acting to be blasé.
Such was not the case with Strapped. This is by far, one of the most beautifully written and acted films I think I have seen in awhile.
Newcomer Ben Bonenfant does an amazing job as he plays a young hustler 'finding himself' in a crazy mixed up world called 'life.' He is sexy and tender in this film and truly breathes life to the various facades he puts on as he 'hustles' his way lost through an apartment building.
The parallel of him being lost in this building and being lost in life really weaves an amazing balance as the story unfolds.
I truly was mesmerized by this film and felt it really was very well written, directed, and acted.
In fact I would add, I truly fell in love with all of the characters who each played their roles perfectly and well acted.
An excellent sexy but tender film.
