Boring
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Not everyone will appreciate Jeff London's film making style but I've actually found it refreshing in its straight forward (some would say simplistic) style and earnestness. The actors make the most of what they are given.
Jayme McCabe is one sexy actor. I would do anything he asked except watch this film again. How can a film about a producer be so poorly produced, written and directed.The dialogs was so choppy, it almost seem like they were responding to voices in their head. There was not a sincere emotion in the entire film. I can watch a man cry but can't watch a man pretend to cry. The actor relied on a poorly written script for motivation and brought none of there own. I assumed at the end , the leads would find love in each others arms. However the two leads seem incapable of displaying any affection. It's just another really bad Brokeback Mountain rip-off.
Arizona Sky is a badly neglected treasure of a film which should be short listed with that small handful of gay themed films like My Beautiful Laundrette made in the UK and The Man I Love made in France. Particular kudos should go to the stars Eric Dean and Jayme McCabe for their convincing and visceral portraits of your average confused-conflicted non-gay identified man who loves another man. Far from being poorly scripted and poorly acted, Arizona Sky superbly portrays the confusion and pain of being caught in the terrible place of having to deny one's most tender feelings--and it does so with the actor's silences, hesitations, and awkward moves in hostile environs. Az isn't the land of Oz, but its where real men in real boots have to walk over and over if they are to win their personal honor and live lives of real integrity.
I made the mistake of not screening for Jeffery London movies before adding this to my NetFlix queue. I'd rented "Before Darkness Falls" months ago. It's so bad it's not even listed in his filmography, but he just doesn't get any better with successive movies. The film concepts are all somewhat interesting, but the plots, dialogue, and acting are so bad that my husband made me fast forward through the rest of "Arizona Sky" after the first scene. How can these two 16 year old boys go camping without immediately falling on top of each other? No liquor, no pot, no sex!?! Are they Mormons?! How about putting some thought into how real people act in certain situations? At the very least they would have discussed their fears about being out alone together at the start of the scene instead of after fifteen minutes of pointless yakking. If we wanted to see "real" real life we could just listen to our families. That last statement probably gives London the excuse to say that this is what he's trying to achieve, but sorry: I don't want to see that on screen. At least my mother-in-law can act. There are worse gay movies than London's, however. Try "Windy City Incident" (better yet, don't: it's truly horrible).
