Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Family secrets, simmering anger, and reporessed sexual desires vividly capture life in the Deep South. Griffith, a morose young man, orphaned as a child, dreams of leaving home but feels tied down by his cousin (who is also his lover) and his invalid aunt. When a mysterious man appears to rent the family cottage, Griffith is tantalized with the possibility of escape and homoerotic fulfillment.

Customer Reviews
Tag Purvis's First Film - Amazing!
**Spoiler Alert** Simply put, this film is amazing and thought provoking. Each actor's performance is Academy Award worthy. Karen Black is phenomenal. Writer and director Tag Purvis's film is a poignant and touching story set in rural Mississippi. Each of the characters must come to grips with themselves and the direction their mundane lives have taken. It is a story of forgetting the past, finding yourself and the yearning for something more.
I am uncertain why this film is classified in the gay genre - The M/M romance is a very small portion of the film. If you are looking for a M/M romance, with a happy ending, this film is not it. That being my only complaint with this film (I am such a romantic sap, I wanted Griffith to ride off with Lee or to have Lee move back into the cottage.) This is, by far, one of my favorite movies.

Romantically Speaking
End-of-Movie Spoiler Alert: See Movie First.
Many viewers lamented that Griffith and Lee
did not get together in the end. They're wrong.
They did, not just at that time. Between the
cemetery and the drive "home," much had to have
been said and promises had to have been made.
Griffith only needed more time. Time to mend and
set right the love of family. Lee was willing to give
it to him. The pain they felt at the end was due
to their parting. You can rest assured, Lee will
be there for him. He'll be back. Love persists.

Wasn't my thing
The movie was well filmed, directed and acted. I gave it 3 stars for that. I just couldn't get into it though. It was slow, over-dramatic, and not entirely believable.

Pass on this
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. You have to be a mind reader to figure out what is happening. Don't waste your time.
