one of the worst
Truly one of the worst and most inept example of independent movie making!! Yawningly boring and dealing with people of the most self-oriented aberrations, making all the worst decisions and talking about it endlessly. Totally unrealistic and a total waste of time

Takes some work on your part to like it
This movie has some interesting takes on life, love and relationships. It's pretty isolated to just a few characters in L.A. It's boring enough that my partner and I actually were talking back to the characters in order to keep our interest up. There are parts, however, that really make you feel for the characters. They are way too depressed though and it drags this movie down. All the repeating of scenes is also pretty strange and waste of probably a third of the movie.

Do you ever wonder about the other possibilities?
I started out watching this film not really impressed at all. I was in fact tempted to shut it off, but I paid for the thing so I was determined to watch it. I'm glad I did. The synopsis of the film is a young gay couple approaching their third anniversary, one still madly in love and the other very confused. Ryan decides to break up with his mate Joel, and explore a relationship with a new friend with whom he shares a lot of things in common. He is in search of someone to share the little magical world that exists only in his mind. But will his new friend feel the same way he does, or will their own little worlds collide? At that moment this was a mediocre film, but then something magical happens. The scenario plays out as if you are watching the end of the movie. All of sudden, as you expect the story to end, the film starts over at the moment Ryan moves out of Joels apartment, and begins going in a totally different direction from what you just seen. I was thinking: "ok, that was a fantasy, now we're seeing what really happens". As it plays out however, it all goes back once again to Ryan leaving Joels apartment and yet another scenario begins to play out as Ryan drifts in thought to explore several fantsies trying to find one that would best explain his real dream in life. As you watch this film, you will surely find one ending you like. All in all, the only thing he discovers is that in any scenario, his lover Joel is steadfast and loves him unconditionally. This is an indie of course so the quality could have been better, but all in all, even on the VHS copy I have, it wasn't too horrible. I would recommend it on DVD however for best picture and sound quality. The casting was great and the acting was superb. I was quite impressed once the whole production began to take off. Don't get in a hurry to shut it off and discount it as a failure. It really does make a strong point and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I will want to see this again and again now that I have some sense of what is going on. Ryan's little world is a really twisted place with a lot of darkness in it. Way too much darkness for me personally, but in the end, it is as if this adult man is finally coming of age so to speak after he has already experienced life. If you give it a chance, you will get something out of this film. I recommend it, but at first I already had my review in mind for only one star. A slow start, but a nice save by Canadian filmmaker Quentin Lee. Two thumbs up in surprise!

Whoa
Don't be so quick to write off this film. If you can get beyond the shortcomings of this very low budget production, there is a story to be told. It is about infatuation and confusion and the evolution of human emotions. Angst, that universal dynamic.

Drifting Asleep
Alright - I feel Ratings are Important in order to provide a useful range of opinions - I used to only rate movies that I enjoyed and then I would run across a movie that had a high star rating and buy it thinking it might have some substance (what I failed to realize is only one person had rated the film and it was most likely the Director), that was the case with this film - I'm sorry, but I really had a tough time not drifting asleep while watching it...all the Twilight Zone (trying to be creative) bouncing around in time, the mediocre acting at best and the no budget look of the film just did not inspire me...Sorry!
