Come Undone

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I have had the privelage to watch this awesome movie depicting male homosexuality. This is a typical French movie in the way of dialogue, content, and direction, but never the less it is amazingly real. Come Undone is not a movie for those that are seeking the regular garbage that comes out of Hollywood.
This is a unique movie in that it is simple and cleverly portrays sexuality between two young males in the real world.
The movie starts off slow and dialogue in some scenes is non existent, but picks up from there on. I could not take my eyes off the screen as the movie reflects life the way it is without all that glamour and fantasy that comes out of Hollywood. Another reason why I couldn't take my eys off the screen was because the two male leads are DREAMY and HOT! Both actors did their part well and are definitely worth watching, especialy during the intimate moments between the two. It must be admitted that most people that enjoy or will enjoy watching this movie is for no more than to see the scenes depicting the two male stars nude and Jeremie Elkaim in an intimate moment in the bathroom playing with his....
The movie is excellent! Dialogue and plot are simple but neatly delivered thanks to the clever direction and performances that are given by the two leading lads. The end of the movie leaves you wondering but it is good for it leaves you to determine a suitable ending. As in real life the ending of the movie leaves you thinking about today, the future, and being prepared for the unexpected. Life has no gaurantees!

Summary: This is a FRENCH movie folks.
Review: This was a well made film. Period. ... This is not a typical cookie-cutter queen flick. This is not "Trick", "Kiss me Guido" or "Like it is", this is a French movie in the tradition of J.L. Goddard (original Breathless). The editing is realism, the camera shots are realism- not to be interpreted as "amateur". The story line seems to be a bit complex or confusing, only in the since that the director plays with time. The Characters are HOT!. The sex scene on the beach was HOT!. The chemistry between the two main characters was HOT! This movie was HOT! ...

Summary: So so...
Review: The movie is good, and the viewer can get into the plot, but the ending comes up and the movie ends leaving the viewer wondering what happened. I enjoyed the movie, and would watch it again, but it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped.

Summary: Poor editing, poor story, poor viewer
Review: We decided to buy this movie based on the reviewer blurbs. What a bad decision. The movie rambles, the editing cuts jump back and forth and sideways in a timespan that is never explained, and there are major loose strings that remain unresolved. The end jumps out of nowhere, leaving the view confused, frustrated and, for the four of us who watched it on a rainy afternoon, mad we'd wasted our time.

Summary: OPEN YOUR MIND
Review: I think some of the reviewers of this film were too busy waiting for nudity,sex scenes, and simple exposition. This is NOT the french version of "Beautiful Thing" or a soft core romance novel type movie. It is challenging only because it moves away from the "coming out" or "cute boy" genres of gay cinema.
All the characters are realized wonderfully with a minimum of dialogue. The use of silence is a tool that makes you focus your mind and ask questions of the movie. Nothing is pat.
This is a movie that treats it characters (and the audience) with a respect one rarely sees in gay themed movies (one need only compare this movie with simplistic dreck like "The Broken Hearts Club" to understand the difference between respecting your audience versus pandering to it).
This film makes you focus on a young man who is dealing not just with his nascent homosexuality but also serious family issues and a lack of direction in his own life. All these things add to a well-thought out character. And the time jumps gives the viewer the oppurtunity to see how that character progresses (and regresses).
It is not a simple film. But it is a very,very good one.

Summary: Not all that Exciting
Review: Starts out as a coming of age story and then quits, leaving no one happy, not even the viewer. Not that its a downer. It just doesn't live up its promise. The love scenes are weak and the "nude on the beach" scenes seems to have been photographed through a bongo blanket. Rent if you want to check it out before you buy it, but don't pay a premium price like I did...

Summary: Worth a rental
Review: OK, I'll be crass: if I have to sit through an illogical and incomprehensive film in order to see Stéphane Rideau naked, fine. I've had the hots for him since "Wild Reeds." Unfortunately, his nude scene in "Come Undone" is at night, so you can't see things as well as you might like. As far as the story line goes, I agree with the other reviewers: there's too much bouncing back and forth; it's impossible to follow this incoherent film. But when the two leads are together, there's real chemistry -- especially when they're making love. How often can you say that about leading actors in a relatively mainstream gay film?

Summary: PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!

theres no way people like this movie other than the fact of some cute gusy running around. GARBAGE!!

Summary: If you want Soap Opera, watch an episode of "Queer as Folk."
Review: If you are looking for intelligent, queer art, watch "Come Undone." Watch it. Really watch it. Pay attention. Think about what you are seeing and hearing. Just think. Try it. When the film is over, think about it some more. The director has some exciting and interesting things to say about love and relationships and families and lovers and adolescence and adulthood and sex. Confused about the flashbacks? Consider the three different time periods in the film ... and the seasons in which they are depicted ... and the frame of mind of the lead character. CAUTION! This motion picture is not intended for people looking for a gay version of "When Harry Met Sally" or "Endless Love." This motion picture was created with the intent to include the audience in the storytelling experience. Bravo.
