Testosterone (2003)
fabulous!
A smart, funny, thriller. It's a new and interesting direction for gay films, and one that I enjoyed because it refuses to follow the usual stereotypes for gay men. I saw it in a packed theater in San Francisco, where the audience seemed to totally enjoy the ride. Director David Moreton daringly lets the film turn dark -- he's not afraid to show an obsessive gay man acting as freaked out as an obsessive straight man. He allows his characters to be human and flawed. This is also a great crossover film for straight audiences. I went with three friends (including a straight couple) and they all liked it too. Antonia Sabato, Jr. has a surprisingly funny character, Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious as usual, and Celina Font is terrific as the Argentine woman who wins in the end. I think women will love this movie.
