Director Bolton could easily have exploited the film's unsettling issues, but he takes a nonsensationalized approach that leaves viewers to decide the moral questions for themselves.
One of the film's most poignant moments comes when he and his father discuss his compulsive attraction to young boys.
Few things are quite as frustrating as a film that chooses a highly controversial subject then proceeds to give it the kid-glove treatment. That's the case with writer-director James Bolton's well-made, if excruciatingly slow-paced, drama.
It's always admirable when a director decides to make a risky film. On the other hand, it's not quite as commendable to also make a boring one.
Drab and muddled romance.
The picture is so predictable that the bad acting becomes a distraction.
May be the most boring film about forbidden love ever made. Unspectacularly shot on video, terribly scripted, with zombie-like acting that borders on the absurd.
