Movie Reviews of Tan Lines
Movie Review: Cute but tragic!
Summary: 4 Stars
Tan Lines is a Great little flick. The acting seem a bit amateurish at times, but that's what teenagers are, eh?
Movie Review: Give it a chance
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a bit difficult to follow in parts but I found it worthwhile sticking with it to the end.Movie Review: Just a little dry...
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, I enjoyed the movie even though it was a little slow and spacey. The director used light/dark contrasts really well in the bedroom scenes & floods of light for outdoor scenes, as well as an interestingly subtle approach to personal religous pressures within the gay community (specifically Catholics here). There were definately some moments that drove me up the wall with the lack of direction, dialogue, and believability between the characters. The story at the heart of this odd movie is strong, but I feel as though it got lost somewhere, leaving the viewer to sort through all the fluff to find it. The actors are mostly young Australians that are pretty cute, but the 'older brother' has a great body & SCARY face (think 'beer-face' commercials)! While the end leaves mounds to be desired and more questions than answers, I think the director got the attitudes and ideas he wanted across.
If you are into gay indie-style films, then you will most likely find this movie appealing. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IMAGES OF GAY SEX AND MANHOOD SHOTS, THEN THIS MOVIE WILL NOT DELIVER; there really are only two scenes for this purpose and neither are that intense. I think that if this movie were to be redone for 'American' audiences, the material and direction would be cleaned up and strengthened, making it a far better movie. Just as a side note, there's a weird series of scenes in which the 'main character' is being paid by an old woman to pleasure her niece while they have tea....BIZARRE! Basically, this film is slow and dry; if you're looking to kill time then watch this movie, otherwise don't bother because others have approached the topic in cleaner, more creative ways than this.
Movie Review: a "wtf?" movie
Summary: 3 Stars
this is one of the movies that at the end your thinking WTF? you can't be serious. It was just a really odd movie but was pretty good. For what it is it's a fantastic movie but not my style.Movie Review: well good intentions
Summary: 3 Stars
This was at the NYC Festival and the build up and write up to entice you looked good.
It was okay-but well, I would say rent it.
