This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
If someone tells me hat this one was supposed to be artistic, then that is crap. What use is the art if at every 5 minutes in the film, the where is completely confused as to where the film is going (present, past, future). While watching you can try so hard to analyze hat this might be something that protagonist is thinking but still the movie just ends and you are still left with your questions and no answers.
Teddy, a budding novelist, has traded the big city for his professor's desert home in California to work on completing his first novel. There he meets Leo, the estate's handsome young caretaker who shows Teddy the ropes of living in the arid wilderness. Teddy is instantly smitten by Leo's sexy and casual demeanor. He stats falling for him. Considering the fact that the two men are all alone in middle of nowhere, its not long before that Teddy seduces him and they end up in bed together. Here starts al the confusion. We suddenly see that Teddy has finished his book and has disappeared because Leo probably feels guilty. Next thing we know is Leo got the book published and is married to a woman. At the same time, we also see that probably he is cheating on his wife with other men and ends up being with Leo and they eventually fall in love. But in al this, Leo keeps hallucinating that someone killed his wife. Its hard to predict or think what was the exact nature of Leo's past, his present and his hallucinations. I was so confused by the end movie finished.
Leo was cute. Thats good but what pisses me off is the fact that it could have been a great potential about 2 men meeting, eventually being friends or falling in love etc but the director unnecessarily had to create these odd situations which made no sense. Personally I would avoid it. (2.5/10)
