Actor Derek Magyar makes an impressive feature debut in this somber video drama about a financially savvy but emotionally distant male escort.

If anything about this scenario sounds remotely interesting, it's not.

| Feb 7, 2014

A traditional vapid romantic comedy.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 23, 2009

Audiences outside gay cinema will, frankly, probably find it too callow to emotionally invest in. However, for those who do see it, they will likely be surprised, and entertained, by its arch insights and near-camp bearing.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 6, 2007

Boy Culture is an undemanding but sufficiently engaging serving of smut and sentiment. As such, it reclaims territory that queer cinema has largely ceded to 온라인카지노추천 shows like Queer as Folk, The L Word and Six Feet Under.

It's a better-than-average gay relationship film, largely because neither plot mechanics nor the same old camp intrude much.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 30, 2007

Seattle locales, some spry lines and tiny soundings of depth still leave us in the conceptual grip of 'love' as a system of endless bartering and vanity, with impulsive copulation treated as consecration. Oh, boy.

Despite cliches, film does click.

| May 18, 2007

Benefits from some assured helming by Q. Allan Brocka and strong performances.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 18, 2007

BOY CULTURE is a well-made, engrossing and well acted comedy-drama. [The main character] X can easily reside alongside Jon Voight's Joe Buck in MIDNIGHT COWBOY as one of the screen's more memorable hustlers.

| Original Score: B+ | May 7, 2007

You know something's amiss in a movie when an omniscient narrator blathers the entire way through it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 4, 2007

Brocka's direction keeps things moving, and the performances he draws from Magyar, Stephens and indie-film veteran Bauchau are always up to speed.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 27, 2007

These self-involved studs manage to make ready, anonymous sex look rather dull.

| Original Score: C | Apr 27, 2007

A drab, contrived drama in which men have sex and then complain about it to us.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 23, 2007

Brocka leaps into the small circle of leading queer filmmakers of our time, sculpting an unpredictable romance that is complex, sophisticated and thoughtful.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 12, 2007

Direction and performances are not up to the task of making this convincing or moving.

| Mar 29, 2007

The overall effect is merely narcotic.

| Original Score: 1/6 | Mar 24, 2007

Shrewder than you'd think and not half as dumb as it looks.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 23, 2007

As a character, X is rather reticent and buttoned-up. If he'd stayed that way as a narrator, a rather nice film would have been even better.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2007

It is buoyed by some incisive acting and writing and anchored by a standout portrayal from Bauchau, a versatile veteran of international cinema.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 23, 2007
