Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreIt’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreA couple in a long term commitment engage a younger man to spice up their sex life with a threesome. The movie begins with extended scenes of the couple's initial courtship with the other man via web chat and webcam. Though the scenes are a realistic portrayal of dating in the internet age (through lengthy typed conversations and waiting with bated breath for any sign of life on the other side), they are drawn out and could have been edited to lighten the pace of the film.Despite the slow start, the remainder of the film is pleasurably paced as we watch them transcend initial awkwardness and intimacy grow through shared stories around the dinner table.The eventual love scene is intense and extremely erotic, and much more than another casual encounter via the internet. The interaction between the actors is extremely well done and realistic. See here for great example of movie sex scenes, add extra points for three parties!
... View MoreThe South Americans seem to have staked out very special territory in gay film: atmospheric and erotic - films that explore the many variations in homo-eroticism and sexuality and the lives of gay men with great subtlety. Much like my other favourites from Argentina (Hawaii, Plan B, Absent), Chile (In the Gray Scale), Urguguay (Leo's Room), Brazil (From Beginning to End), the pace here is slow and the story focuses on courtship and play as much as capture (or the potential of capture). What animates, inhibits, and satisfies gay sexuality is often the subject in these films and sometimes, as in this, it enacts those satisfactions.This is a beautiful and very sexy film (in its second half) about a young college student hooking up with an older couple, and it takes the viewer much deeper into the feelings, expectations and fears of all three characters and is touching as well as very realistic to me. But the filmmaker is also a bit too clever for dramatic good: the first 20-30 mins (much too long) consists of small, difficult to see screen shots of the characters meeting and teasing online in a chat room - it's best to skip forward after a few minutes of this to the arrival of Fede, the younger "third one", at the home of Hernán and Franco. The latter are two 30-something men who've been together for 8 years - obviously they've a loving relationship, but it's gone a bit flat, esp sexually it seems. This is all marvelously (but very slowly) revealed in conversation at dinner before the anticipated sex, as are many touching and dramatically useful details of Fede's life. The film is relatively short, just over an hour, but that's still at least 20 minutes more than is essential: I found myself going back to about 35-40 minutes into the film savour over again the dinner's verbal foreplay and the intimate sexual encounter at the heart of the film.This dinner conversation itself is marvelously well acted, as is the threesome that follows, the actors so full of pleasuring and delight once they've broken their reserve that I felt much of the same delight. The revelations, hesitations, and rapport that develop over dinner adds a distinctive depth, and eroticism, to the sex and the film overall. The actors' fine eye expressions, side- glances, hesitations, are all captured by the director.Technically, there is a period after the dinner scene where subtitles, set against a yellow background, become difficult to read for about 5 minutes - no big deal, but as with the excess of exposition at the beginning (and resolution at the very end) this and the film require a little patience (and/or finger on the remote). But that said, it's a very satisfying film on most every level.
... View MoreFirst off - this is NOT a semi-pornographic gay flick with shallow artificially blown up characters. Instead, it's a straight forward, semi-documentary enactment of a student hoking up with a gay couple for a threesome. There is a very long sex scene for its brief runtime, but it doesn't reveal much. You will have to wait for it for 40 minutes of a very extended conversation scene which serves to break the ice. There is not much of a plot otherwise.So what makes this not as instantly forgettable as countless other gay dating flicks? For one – the characters look and act real. They are attractive but not overly so. They are in shape but have no six packs. Secondly, they are neither angels nor assholes. There is a little bit of drama and insecurity on behalf of the student, but he is not portrayed as a lost soul looking for sex to define his personality. The couple reveal that their relationship has lost a bit of zing after eight years, but they are committed to each other. And third, the three treat each other with interest and respect. All too often a threesome is portrayed as proof of moral duplicity or something seedy. But it is, as sex dates in general, often just another way to get to know people.So what makes this film quite nice to me is that there is no judgment or exploitation here, just a realistic description of this kind of situation. Of course, if you want something more racy or dramatic, this is not the right film for you.
... View MorePlot Spoiler Alert!! This is an Argentinean film about a threesome. Sorry that might be a bit of a plot spoiler as so little actually happens here. Two guys who are in a relationship do some on line smut exchanges with a young lad and he comes over and they have a meal, some wine, talk about themselves and then get it on.That is it and even at seventy minutes this still dragged. It begs the question why did they bother making it. There are scenes of graphic sex at the beginning but then the production limitations start to bite; there is only ever one fixed camera angle. There is no music, there is no point.I can not recommend anyone to see this at all, if you like porn, then there are better ones out there, if you want a relationship drama, then there are loads to chose from and if you want a film that goes nowhere very slowly then there are better ones than this too. It is not the worst piece of film making I have ever seen it is just the least ambitious, and in the total sum of cinema only has a place as an exemplar of what not to make a film into.
