A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD.

This was a bad film on all grounds. The intentions might have been nice but overall impression that is left on the viewers is far from satisfaction. It is a film with loads of nudity and sex scenes but they are more repulsive than anything. The film shows life of Todd who works in a movie theatre and is full of boredom. He has a boyfriend of 3 years but he there is no physical connection left between them. Todd work night and his boyfriend works day. Todd engage in random hook ups and meets people online. This also includes public bathroom sex. When his boyfriend John gets a hang of it, he catches him in act in a public restroom and beats him up bad. Todd is now homeless. Homeless, Todd is forced to live at his office, but his compulsion for sex throws his job into jeopardy too.
The film is a little too realistic and I quite did not understand what the whole point was. A lot of nudity and maybe some titillation but apart from that after a certain point of time the film just drags. Its description seemed promising, but it didn't deliver in the ways I'd hoped.
Pointless for me. (2/10)
