Head On

Rating:
Summary: Australian Beauty
Review: When Australia tackle a movie subject such as homesexuality they either totally miss the plot, as in "The Sum of Us" or make a film that sets the benchmark for all others to follow.
Head On falls into the later.Alex Dimitraides performance is brilliant as the Young Gay son of Greek imigrants that cannot accept his place in modern Australian society as a gay man.
His rejection of his own sexuality leads to his sexual gratification without emotion,the end result being that he misses a chance of a meaningful or at least caring relationship.
A comment made by the director in thanking Alex for his performance was "he gave every inch of himself to the role"
A challenging, disturbing but brilliant film from Australia
