Spotlight Reviews

I remember reading a great review of this film in the Los Angeles Times, so I decided to check it out on DVD. I wasn't disappointed. It's really clever and addresses relationship issues that are rarely addressed in gay films. Sure, the main character (played by R.T. Lee) whines a lot and is in his head a lot, but I know so many people who are exactly like him. The other two actors who make up the love triangle are super. The boyfriend (played by Greyson Dayne) is completely sweet and naturalistic and the college kid (played by Johnathon Roessler) is hilarious. The entire cast, for that matter is great, especially the coffee shop owner (with a couple of the best lines in the film). The photography is a little stark and jolting, but it looks like it was intended to be that way, adding to the naturalistic feel. Very cool! This is a really worthy effort by director Quentin Lee and should be checked out by everyone interested in gay cinema.
