Movie Reviews of Holding Trevor
Movie Review: Mission Impossible
Summary: 5 Stars
Holding Trevor seems to be something that's impossible to do. Trevor, played brilliantly by Brent Gorski, is a puppy-dog eyed twentysomething, with an overwhelming fear of commitment. He meets Ephram, a handsome intern, at a really awkward stage in his life. Trevor has just ended a relationship with a guy who was an addict with suicidal tendencies. The only thing that had been keeping them together was Trevor's pity for this adorable loser. Trevor is also fighting an identity crisis of sorts. With no stable relationships in his life, except those with a few friends, and no meaningful career or personal goals, Trevor is feeling lost and insecure.
Trevor's best friend, Jake, played by the amazing Jay Brannan, takes life much less seriously. Jake is supportive of any decisions Trevor makes, and buoys his spirits when he's down, with humour and the kind of teasing sarcasm that only best friends can share. But ultimately Jake is unable to do much besides watch impotently as Trevor struggles with his life and his demons. Meanwhile Ephram is falling madly in love with Trevor, and is growing frustrated that Trevor is unable to return his affection.
The end is something of a disappointment, and a triumph, as Trevor is finally able to release some of the ghosts in his past that have held him back, and sadly bids farewell to Ephram, who must reluctantly go on with his own life without Trevor at his side.
This isn't a fast paced action movie. Nor is it wildly funny or romantic. It has a somewhat pedantic pace, and every scene is packed with restrained emotion and repressed desires. You have to sort of study this movie to derive it's full meaning. It isn't handed to you in a neat, simple package. But it's well worth watching more than once.
Allow me for a moment to gush over Jay Brannan. He is a ridiculously talented musician and actor. His lyrics convey an often morbidly depressed spirit. But the true Jay Brannan is a pale skinned beauty with a sexy smile and an astonishing sense of humour. Unfortunately there's not a lot of Jay's music showcased in this movie. But just seeing him makes "Holding Trevor" a movie you'll enjoy watching.
