People are voting emotionally.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I've read the glowing reviews, and read the many awards that this film has received and I just do not understand it. It completely confuses me.This film is devoid of any substance. There is absolutely nothing in the movie that would make it a thriller. If you call it a thriller, it's a thriller without the thrill. It's a drama with very mild drama. There is not enough sex to be a porn, and there is not enough drama to be a drama. It's just nothing.Sex is sex. I don't have an issue with it. Some of the scenes you think "yeah, OK, I get it, that's enough now".The whole film I sat thinking "ok something is going to happen soon" but no it never happened. The ending just irritated me like no other film's ending has ever done before. How could someone be so stupid. No one would do that.The 2 I gave was purely because the setting of Lake of Sainte-Croix was beautiful.

The good news first: If you are into men - Pierre Deladonchamps and Christophe Paou are quite sexy and bare it all - full frontal nudity throughout the flick.Unfortunately, two beefy guys are a lame excuse for the lack of a decent story line. Let's see: We have Franck, who obviously carries his brain in his dick. So he does what any homosexual would do after he witnesses the guy he has the hots for killing his lover: He digs him up and screws with him. Makes sense, doesn't it?We have the killer, Michel, who not only kills his boyfriend but in the course of the film also a Police agent. Now isn't he clever? The agent may have been stupid enough to return to the crime scene alone – but it's more than likely that he has a list of suspects in his office so when he gets killed, his colleagues will start to check whom he interviewed last.Than we have Franck's platonic relationship with Henri – he really seems to care about him. But this subplot leaves the impression that the writer just wanted to show that the character Franck is not entirely driven by his penis – and fill up time. Because in the end Franck's relation with Henri does not stop him from bonking a murderer. What sense does it make to show Franck's compassionate side if it's in the end still his wiener that rules?As so often with french films, there's no real end. We don't learn whether Michel get's caught, and if not, whether Franck finally wises up and terminates his dangerous liaison with Henri.Not very much for 100 minutes – which, by the way, appear much longer while sitting through this bore.And as for the full frontal nudity: If that's what you lust for, rent a porn.

a crime movie more than a gay one. a psychological drama more than a crime one. a film about the fragility of few men, easy to reduct to nudity or sex scenes. the end is the key to a sentimental triangle who defines each of lead characters. the sexual relation as love, the confessions and the empty state of soul, the forms of solitude and the stereotypes , the cars and the lake, the forest as refuge, each as symbol of forms of isolation and looking of sense in the other. a film who need review. for understand, behind the images, the significance of dialogs, gestures and compromises. portrait of society as a kind of parable.

I am not a gay man, and so I can say that this film had a beauty, it wasn't porn, it was about gay men on a lake, doing what any couple's do, talking etc etc.The film didn't have a core story, it was like watching a poem without words, with the lake being the observer.If find continental films very poetic in most case, very philosophical, this movie tended to be this way.Rating this movie is not easy because it did have quality. I have given it 4.It wasn't porn, it was slow, chatty, highly sexual, and it gave an overview of the world of gay men.
