As a polemic to conservative Australians, it hammers the message home. It might have worked as a piece of theater but as a film it fails. Preaching to the converted? I think so.
No sexual chemistry between the leads...neither gay or straight. Russell's helmet-head, hawk-nosed, super hair-sprayed boyfriend doesn't convince.
Everyone tries hard and fails. It has a low-brow streak of melancholy running throughout. A bit like a soap without the continuity.
That this qualifies for inclusion in the top 100 gay films of all time on AfterElton can only reflect low expectations.
Wanted to like it but didn't. Disappointing
