Ira Sachs's "Keep the Lights On" focuses on dismal relationship between two men in New York. A previous reviewer praised the movie for not taking a cliched view of gay relationships and showing that gays can have damaged relationships just as much as heterosexuals can.
Maybe so, but the movie drags a lot. Plenty of movies - namely 2005's "Junebug" - have deliberately moved slowly to tell the story, but I don't really see the purpose here. It's got a good story, but they could've presented it better.
