Review of Crutch

Crutch (2004)
6/10
Watchable, uneasy, not for people who tend to scandalize
16 April 2007
I can't really tell whether I liked the film or not, but what I do can say is that it is an uneasy story about a boy that happens to be gay (I don't buy the preyed thing...) and everything around him just going wrong, So it is not like you're going to enjoy it or have a good time, which is quite an achievement by itself, but at some (but few) points things get pretty... TV-ish, I would say. Acting at moments is noticeably awkward, and that is not a luxury you could afford while dealing with such an angstful environment. Some things get a little bit too dashingly resolved, which makes some "passages" sadly missable. The movie has spirit and is quite watchable, given how boring/ridiculous most disfunctionality films are. Anyways, is not a film you should watch if you tend to get scandalized (You really shouldn't, since it has a high level of subjectivism, the director is not only telling his story, he's also playing the teacher's role). I'll just give it a six, by now, it qualifies for its slot in the rack :)
