Beautiful Something
First screened in September 2015

Twitter Capsule: Atmospheric lighting, erotic thrall are its strongest suits, but prosaic impulses overtake it. Unevenly acted.

VOR:   Swinging away at a grimy romanticism, and willing to study gay desire from multiple angles, but not every thesis or arc is equally fresh. I can't say this lingered much.
