I need more queer psychological thrillers like this one.
Dark, atmospheric, suspenseful, and although some of the plot twists are fairly predictable, it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging watch.
You can really feel the chemistry between Lee Williams and Marc Warren from the moment they share the screen. That scene in the lift is chef’s kiss. The film does a great job of balancing romance, obsession, desire, and paranoia, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
Not the most shocking thriller ever made, but it’s stylish, gripping, and exactly the kind of dark queer drama I wish there were more of.

The curse of being bisexual, I guess.
What initially appeared to be a romance between two men gradually decays into an obsession driven by ego, naive jealousy, and infidelity. This film dissects how a relationship that was supposed to be a sanctuary instead devolves into an emotional prison.
But it's all just too much, everything is just too much, the storylines are overwhelming.

Amigo, que le pasa a Tim por favor
I mean, yeah, Ivo wasn't a good man, you know, but Tim was a real pain. He had too many flaws, just like Ivo. I can't believe Ivo went too far on the cruise with the guy he liked.
I can't believe Tim kept repeating that the only person he'd ever loved was Isabelle, but he still missed Ivo, keeping his pictures and that yellow vest. What a hypocrite.
Tim was the "yes/no" of this movie. But anyway, the movie was really good. It's almost like watching a Latin American telenovela; lots of unexpected twists, but the kind that make you sigh.
