It is refreshing to see the lives of gay men of color portrayed realistically. A very interesting and wonderful movie. We need more gay movies that explore race and cultural implications in the LGBT community. Kudos to the team for doing such a great job. Other directors need to learn a lesson and focus on the actual struggles of gay men across the entire spectrum racially and otherwise.

I was able to relate to this move. The inclusion of the perspective of parents is refreshing. More movies like this will enable guys to come out or at least think about the coming out process.I liked the pace of the movie. Parts of it were predictable like the homophobic guy being gay. The ending was also cool. The movie didn’t rush into two guys falling in love. It rather explored a much natural development.
