It’s an evocative film that creeps up on you in unpredictably tender ways, so prepare to shed a tear or two — or three.
Though far from the gold standard of “brief encounter” dramas like Andrew Haigh’s “Weekend,” Sublet nevertheless wins you over with its subtle charm and its mellow depiction of two men forging an unexpected connection.
It’s a gentle, often funny meditation on advancing age and the fragile joys of youth.
It isn’t bad, per se, but I just never felt the emotional impact it's clearly hoping to achieve.
Directed and co-written by Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox, whose films often deal with gay themes, Sublet feels like it’s setting itself up, just a little bit, as a same-sex version of How Stella Got Got Her Groove Back.
Eytan Fox’s film is a low-key observance of two men finding the beauty in each other’s mysteries and contradictions.
With two screenwriters (including the director) and three script editors credited, it may be a classic “too many cooks” situation, as the whole structure is as risk-free and standardized as a TV film, though newcomer Niv Nissem provides a freshness that papers over the conventionality of it all.
