Featured review
Had potential but ultimately dull and unengaging
Two gay men are trying to have a baby with a female friend. One of their neighbours is a homophobe and has mental health issues, resulting in him harassing them but them having no recourse, as the police realise that, due to the mental health issues, nothing will come of a complaint. A confrontation is inevitable.
The central plot - the conflict between the gay couple and the mentally ill neighbour - was reasonably interesting. However, this story in isolation isn't enough to fill up an entire movie, so we have sub-plots and other padding that draw out the film and make it fairly dull. Some of the padding is more than dull, it's irritating and pretentious, e.g. the adult-as-a-baby photoshoot.
Once the confrontation occurs you expect things to ramp up but even then things just progress in a sluggish, unfocussed, way. The ending is very disappointing as there was heaps of room to make something of where the plot had progressed to.
