Movie Reviews of Beloved Friend Amic/Amat
Movie Review: Left Me Hanging
Summary: 2 Stars
Amic/amat starts out with some interesting shots of the lead oiling his body up and donning leather; but as with this opening scene, the film ends up teasing with no real delivery, certainly in terms of erotic representation but also in terms of its fundamental story-line. The film has a somewhat anti-climactic ending and the motives of the characters are not fleshed out satisfactorily. Character motives for prostitution, abortion, same-sex attraction, divorce, and violence begin to be strongly suggested or hinted at, but then frustratingly are not carried out to any substantial conclusions. This is the fatal flaw of the film, as I saw it. Amic/amat has some compelling performances (such as by the dying prof) and features an attractive male lead who might have had his physical form and acting talents better exercised in a wholly thought-out film. I wonder if the screenplay writer had a coronary midway through the project and then an ending was just patched together? Erotically and intellectually, Amic/amat just left me "hanging":)
