I loved this film! This is the way to make you understand alternative lifestyles and leanings without the tedious indoctrinating lectures from the likes of the BBC. Great psychological/emotional insights brilliantly but subtly acted all round. As the director states in the "special features", the long, lingering shots (learn a lesson, thrill-a-second Hollywood! ) really give you time to savour and reflect upon the changing feelings of the characters. It has some quite funny interludes, too, and many truly tender (but not corny) moments. Fringe/Indie film at its best.
