Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

at the first sigh, a simple, ordinary story about friendship, love, every day problems, problems and decisions. at the second, a good film. for its direct and fresh message. for the precise picture of a group of guys , different, nice, in middle of clash between feelings and choices and dialogues and physical attraction. short, one of film for an age when the t-shirt and jeans are very near by suits. and this did "Holding Trevor" not exactly a memorable film but a refreshing one. sure, part of characters are only sketches and the script is far to be great. but something gives to it a special look. and this is its necessary virtue.

I tried to care about these characters, even when two of them have tragic events in their lives.The only thing it seems to get right is dealing with a heroin addict and hoping that your denial is reality.Other than that, this film is pretty clumsy, the other gay guy has a music scene that doesn't fit the film and I don't remember if he even mentions his musical abilities or anything before that point.It just seems thrown together, no sense of pacing and at the end it left me just with scrunched eyes and wondering "Did anyone proofread this before they shot it? OR point out things that didn't make sense"

The experiences of Trevor and his friends felt very real to me. I enjoyed experiencing their friendship and banter and found the three main characters very likable. Though Trevor's romantic relationships are central to the film, it felt much more as though it was about a point in Trevor's life where he needs to find a way to grow and move forward. The music was excellent. I thought the director made some nice touches, in particular with the scene involving looking at the lights and the good-bye party at the hospital. Overall, the emotions of the film rang true to me, the characters were people I found I cared about, and the humor unforced and good-natured.

I was fortunate to see Holding Trevor and this film can and should propel all the principles into more film work.Brent Gorski wrote the script and stars but he has written story lines that enable each of the 4 main characters to shine.Director Rosser Goodman shows us a believable look at a tight-knit group of friends in LA. (Please don't think: 'The Hills'. These friends live probably in the flats -- geographically and perhaps philosophically miles away.) They're gay, straight, funny, caring but these aren't 'sit-commy' friends. I'm sure if you see this film you'd say: 'I know somebody just like that.'Goodman strikes just the right tone of humor and pathos. We can relate to the twists and turns life takes while we're trying to find happiness. On top of that -- good music, too! Sometimes the phrase "low-budget movie' may not inspire one to go see it. But, that would be too bad because honest, heartfelt films made by passionate filmmakers should be supported.
