1.0 out of 5 starsMakes me suspicious of the good reviews
By J. Martin on February 1, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Sometimes when a very bad movie gets a great review, it's because a friend or relative of someone involved in making the movie wrote it. Sometimes that's obvious just from reading the review, but not always. Having now seen this movie myself, I cannot trust any positive review it gets.

This movie is just terrible. Everything about it is bad: the strident, preposterous screenplay; the harsh, always-on, NEVER-believable acting (if it's fair to real actors to call it that - Michael Joyce and Mandeesh Gill in particular are embarrassingly bad, although Joyce has a bigger role so he sticks out more); the noisy, too-loud and never appropriate music; the interminable fake sex scenes that are always shot from the same weird angle, with the same frenzied, mechanical, totally fake grunts, groans, grimaces and spastic moves - scenes that last ten times as long as they should even if they were good; and the idiotic photography.

The normal way to film a conversation is to film each actor separately and then edit the shots together into a conversation. THIS director or cinematographer sometimes chose instead to swing the camera back and forth between actors: one reads his line, then the camera swings quickly 90° to the other actor, who says his line, then back to the first actor, etc. In at least one scene he does it between THREE actors. It's dizzying, and not in a good way. I've never seen anything like it. Whether it was done to save production time and costs or with some crazed idea that it's a cool way to make a movie, it's a big, BIG mistake.

Every character in this movie would be unbearably obnoxious if they were at all believable; as it was, I just kept hoping against hope that the counter was wrong and there weren't REALLY 53 minutes left, then 52 minutes, and so on. I forced myself to stay with it all the way to the end, but I wouldn't wish such torture even on Dick Cheney. This is the worst movie I've seen in years.

3.0 out of 5 starsFar from great, but not that totally awful either
By Sluggo on April 16, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The Cost of Love never really explained what the cost of love was supposed to be - SPOILER ALERT - it must be gruesome murder. What I had read about this indie effort was obviously intriguing enough that I decided to see it, and while I don't feel like I totally wasted 90 precious minutes of life, I do feel a bit short changed. Whether by design (writing) or presentation (acting), the main character, Dale, never becomes likable and therefore, you never care about him. Nor do you ever really believe that he cares about anyone other than himself despite the title and one of the main plot drivers which is his apparent hidden love for his friend Raj. The story relies heavily on worn out melodramatic tropes and hollow sentimentality, but never delivers a substantial return on any investment. I gave this film 3 stars primarily because I enjoyed Michael Joyce's snippy and yet solid performance of Sean and I believe Kylie Cobley and Caroline Burns Cooke also did solid turns as Veena and Christine. Going back to my original sentence and spoiler alert - the final murder and in fact the whole psycho killer subplot seemed to come out of nowhere and was more just tacked on as an after thought to usher forth the denouement, rather than being an actual plot driver of the film. That, or I guess it was just one last melodramatic screw to try to force us to care about the otherwise unlikeable Dale. I'd say this film is worth seeing for Joyce's over the top drag queen and makeup, but not for much else. If you want to see a serious drama with redeeming characters, keep looking.

3.0 out of 5 starsDrag Queens, Cruising, Saunas and no queues for a toilet in a Gay Bar
By Tommy Dooley TOP 500 REVIEWER on January 13, 2012
Format: DVD
This is an indie gay themed film from writer and director Carl Medland. It tells the story of Dale, a 28 year old `hustler' and his friends. Dale (Christopher Kelham) has some strange clients who have a number of strange proclivities, which does go some way to breathing humour into the plot. He likes to indulge their fantasies, whether it be nappy wearing or aggressive domestic cleaning. He then does a fair bit of cruising in the evenings. I would be worn out personally speaking.

He has a closeted Asian friend Raj (Valmier Rampersad - who is really good), who announces he is getting married - predictably to a woman. Dale is rather in love with him and takes it none too well. He uses his other friend the drag queen with the alcoholic mum, Sean (played by the late Michael Joyce) as a sounding board of his emotions and does not always like what he hears. As Sean says `if you want to be heard - speak the truth'. Dale also uses his mate Ricardo for extra frison with some of his punters and they seem to have some genuine on screen chemistry, both in and out of bed. There isn't that much in the way of `action' here either, but if you want that, then you should really go for the top shelf stuff and not this more `eye level' fare.

There are more than a few stereotypes here, but I am fine with that, we also have a drag race, which is always fun and masses of eye make up too. There are some production issues, like poor dubbing at the beginning and editing that could have been harsher. But this is an indie effort and it is well shot and the acting is above average, but not award winning by any standard. There are also some plot twists that are a bit hard to swallow - no pun intended, but that is artistic choice.

I liked the music too which is provided by `Cherrystone'.Read more ›
