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. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
“Forever Mine” - A confused boy seeks a love that will last him a lifetime. It deals with one of the most taboo subjects of gay relationship between siblings.
“A Mind of Their Own” - A teen’s long forgotten past leads to his short lived future. This was a weird one. A boy feels his boyfriend is cheating on him and goes to meet the man but it turns out it is in fact he himself who has been sleeping with this other man, except he always forgets it.
“Unsolved Christmas” - A Christmas present, in the hands of a young voyeur, leads to a holiday tale of woe in an. Extremely confusing and boring to be honest, just a platform for more erotica.
“The Way To a Man’s Heart”, an abused lover gets his revenge from beyond the grave. Gory and weird again.
The film attempts to play like a series of episodes, at times cheeky, always mysterious, with a sprinkle of life lesson for good measure. Unfortunately, the movie comes across as self-indulgent; a movie made just because they could. And while they were in the midst of congratulating themselves on a job well done, they utterly failed to deliver a humorous line, create an effecting scene, or surprise the audience. Far more odd than erotic. One of the lead guys who appears in most stories at least has a good ass which is on full display along with his beautiful dick (hard and soft). Also, what's the point of using gay actors to pretend being bi-sexual? The scenes where they have to do the obligatory bit with the girls, to get it over and done with, to be able to pass as "straight," are pathetic; utterly unconvincing. In todays age where sexual gratification is available in abundance, this collection nether gives you thrill, not story or acting and neither gratification. Avoid at all costs. (1/10)
