Review of Circuit

Circuit (2001)
4/10
Like watching a train wreck in slow motion

Warning: Spoilers
As a gay man who has lived a very sheltered life, I wanted to see this movie to get some kind of an idea about life in an area with a lot of gay men. I think I am happy where I am. I think the movie started okay, but as the main character gets drawn into the web of circuit parties and drugs, I really watched as if it were my summary. I knew this was getting worse as it went on, but I just couldn't tear my eyes away. I felt like the woman the main character lived with, out of my depth and unable to understand the fascination with the circuit. I also couldn't understand in the final party, how people can ingest that many drugs before they die. And what a death! I felt like I was watching a remake of "All That Jazz" with a gay cast. All in all, a fascinating, god-awful mess.
