You don't really see a lot of dramas out there about art. The premise seems interesting so I decided to give it a go. What a mistake.
The Good:
Cary Elwes solidly performs as a rich gay art something something. He pretty much steals every scene he is in.
The script is okay in terms of art dialogue.
The Bad:
The main character is so forgettable. He's like a talking cardboard box. Did he go through an actual screen test? Sorry, but if you are going to use a relatively unknown actor as the lead, make sure he has star quality (e.g. Damien Brody in Homeland, Aaron Paul in Breaking Bad).
Dennis Quaid has his moments, but his portrayal is a bit one note. He is a rich perv. That's it. I don't get anything else from his character. But I guess if it was written that way, it could be the writer's fault.
Writing lacks humor and depth. Sure the art talk seems legit, but the rest is pretty straightforward. Nothing slightly poetic about it.
What a waste of the unique art premise. Will not recommend.
