2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good, April 5, 2009

This review is from: Holding Trevor (DVD)

I really wanted to like this movie, but it just isn't that good. Some of the dialogue was very good and funny, especially the banter between the best friends. But overall, the movie had a sad and depressing look and feel to it. Hopefully, this isn't the way most LA twentysomethings live their lives.
Also, I didn't feel that anything was resolved by the end of the film: it just stopped. No happy ending here.
If you're into low budget and depressing movies, this one is for you. If you're looking for an entertaining, feel good, romantic comedy, this is definitely not for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story about coming of age and moving on with life., June 3, 2009

This review is from: Holding Trevor (DVD)

Trevor is an intelligent, sweet twentysomething gay boy in L.A., working in a dead-end job as a answering service operator, sharing an apartment with a straight female roommate, and devoting too much time to a co-dependent relationship with an ex, a drug addict. His best friend Jake (Jay Brannan from "Shortbus") is pushing Trevor to move on, and is happy when his pal meets Ephram (Eli Kranski), a hunky medical intern who seems to be genuinely in love with him. Ultimately, Trevor realizes his life is perpetually "on hold," and he needs to be the one to effect the changes he knows need to be made.

Kind of a preachy vanity project for writer/producer/star Brent Gorski, but saved somewhat by genuinely likeable characters who support each other emotionally, with noticeable but minimal overacting. Well made, considering the low budget, and could be a boost for others who feel they need to make changes in their lives. A 2007 film made for Here!TV, and occasionally on their On-Demand schedule. DVD extras include only a theatrical trailer and stills. I give it three stars out of five.

2.0 out of 5 stars So what do they say about good intentions?, February 15, 2010

By 

Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holding Trevor (DVD)

The authors of the movie certainly had a lot of good intentions. The screenplay touches upon a number of serious issues - drugs, AIDS, betrayal, responsibility, relationships, friendship etc. The cast is generally acceptable. However, they apparently forgot that movie-making requires a little more.
Let's start from the basics - sound recording should allow the audience to understand what is being said on the screen instead of giving a perfect opportunity to listen to wind in the trees and other background noises. It is not enough to have wonderfully white teeth to be an actor. A clear story line also helps. I must confess that I felt a little lost while watching the movie.
This is an indy gay drama aimed mostly at fans of indy gay cinema. If you expect anything more, you may be unpleasantly surprised. On a second thought - even if you are a fan of indy gay cinema you may be rather disappointed. There is a lot of good intentions here but somehow very little comes out of them.
