Summary: A Truthful Breaking Up Movie with Believable Human Emotions
Review: I watched Drift without any particular expectations. The acting (with the exception of R.T. Lee) left something to be desired, but the message of the movie was so extraordinary. I can't remember the last time that I watched a movie that had as much of an emotional impact as this movie. It is partly because I felt completely connected and understanding of every senario. That made me realize that this movie would touch many others in the same way. The power of some of the most simple words (Passion always dies, but I live for passion) and scenes such as R.T. Lee's crying scene when he is packing his bags to leave are nothing short of brillant. Personal experiences always translate beautifully into film (as it does for director Quentin Lee). It shows that he is in touch with true human emotion. R.T. Lee's crying scene showed the reality of a "necessary" breakup...pain. From every angle and for both involved a breakup is painful no matter who intiates the process. I can't say that I have ever taken the time to write to about a movie, but this deserves a response. Although it is a gay movie, the emotions are applicable to any relationship where choices about that realtionship have to be made. Get past the blant performances of the supporting cast and focus on the script by director Quentin Lee and the powerful, emotional and real performance of R.T. Lee and you'll see this as a great charactor study about relationships and emotions.

Summary: A Big Surprise
Review: Hello. To be honest, I ordered this DVD based on the provocative cover art, but I was really surprised when I watched it. This is one of the most interesting gay films that I have ever seen. It starts out ordinary enough, with a typical boy meets boy, boy leaves boy type scenario. Then things get really fun when we are given three alternate endings if one little thing had gone differently. It is totally thought-provoking and inspiring. The actors who play Ryan, Joel, and Leo are all unknowns, but they are all top-notch and fun to watch. The director - Quentin Lee - really has something here, and has created one of the best gay films of the year. But it shouldn't just be classified as a "gay film" because the themes should appeal to anyone who has been in a long term relationship!!!

Summary: Wow
Review: Who ever thought gay life could be so boring? Ever wonder what actors on film look like without makeup and a soft focus lens? Just take a look at this movie. All their faces look bumpy and greasy. They all look nasty. Really bad skin. And the lives they lead will have you falling asleep. Skip this movie and watch "Coming Out." That movie is brilliant.

Summary: SEXY, SMART, & COMPELLING!!!
Review: Oh my gosh! My friend made me watch this film the other night and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. This is the smartest gay-themed film I have seen since the "The Wedding Banquet." Finally in "DRIFT" we have a gay film about real people who have real people problems. No one is dealing with coming out, self loathing, AIDS, or dying. Nope, no stereotypes here, thank God! The documentary feel of this film is especially compelling, almost making the viewer feel as though they're peeping in a window they shouldn't be. The cast is amazing and their work is so natural that you almost have to wonder if director Quentin Lee just found these people and shot their true story (kind of like a homo-Real World). It's so nice to see actors in a gay film who are smart and sexy without being West Hollywood steroid clones. The chemistry between RT Lee and Greyson Dayne is hot, to say the least - though a little nudity would have been very welcomed. Their break-up scene was so real and painful that it just about wiped me out. I also LOVED the best friend characters played by Desi DelValle and Sebastien Guy. I wish I had best friends like that. The film has a lot of humor, but ultimately it left me feeling extremely melancholy about all the decisions that I've made in my life that might have gone a different way. Anyway, I can't wait to take a look at the other films from Quentin Lee. He has a real eye for real people and real situations.

Summary: Well done...
Review: Simple and to the point, "Drift" is a refreshing perspective in relationships. The characters are real life - there is no flash here, just raw emotion. Couldn't pause it when I watched it!

Summary: Excellent indie feature from Quentin Lee
Review: Young ... filmmaker Quentin Lee crosses over into marketable film making with this fine feature "Drift". I loved it from start to finish... and loved all three endings! I found the characters realistic (even their superficiality seemed genuine). He's grown immensely since his wacky "Shopping for Fangs" was released. This is a stand-out among the current gay indie releases. Well worth watching.

Summary: Fresh and Insightful
Review: "Drift" offers a fresh perspective on love and sex from the gay male viewpoint. Considering that a great number of [homosexual] movies deal with this topic in a rather superficial and trite fashion, "Drift" offers an intelligent dissection of the nature and complexities of gay relationships. Creatively shot, beautifully scored, and well acted (although I felt one actor could have done a better job...), "Drift" is a fine work of [homosexual] cinema.

Summary: One of my favorite gay films
Review: DRIFT is one of my favorite gay films... I saw this at the premiere at the sold-out San Francisco International Gay Film Festival and loved it. I also bought a DVD of it which has some cool extras. It's an erotic relationship drama which is different from the most gay films which are usually about coming out and picking up. So it's a refreshing start. I really enjoy the twists and turns of the drama, and I've come to very much identified with the lead, played by handsome Reggie Lee. The most touching scene is the break-up scene when Ryan, the lead, has to leave his sleeping boyfriend early in the morning (am I giving out too much?)... but just that scene, so well-crafted and performed, is worth the ticket price (or purchase price of the DVD). It's also very quirky and has a personal touch which really places the film a notch above other artificial or run-of-the-mill romantic drama. Check it out!

Summary: Multiple story complexity
Review: I don't want to give too much away other than to say this film is superbly crafted with multiple story lines. Let's just call it a 'gay Sliding Doors' and leave it at that. You'll love it!

Summary: Worst Film!
Review: Perfect lesson in how to make a low budget boring pretentious film. Don't waste your money on this one!
