Watch Holding Trevor For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Just perfect...

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I tried to care about these characters, even when two of them have tragic events in their lives.The only thing it seems to get right is dealing with a heroin addict and hoping that your denial is reality.Other than that, this film is pretty clumsy, the other gay guy has a music scene that doesn't fit the film and I don't remember if he even mentions his musical abilities or anything before that point.It just seems thrown together, no sense of pacing and at the end it left me just with scrunched eyes and wondering "Did anyone proofread this before they shot it? OR point out things that didn't make sense"

Trevor, you're an idiot. Here you have a great guy that is willing to do anything for you and what do you do????? You let "friends" be a deciding factor on whether you stay with him and move to NYC or remain in LA.And you, "FRIENDS", how can you call yourself his close friends by pouting and trying to find fault why he shouldn't move to NYC since it's been a hard road for Trevor finding someone that he can finally feel comfortable with. I would not consider you quality friends if you're only thinking of yourselves. Don't use length of friendship and health issues to guilt someone into staying permanently in your life.Trevor you will never find happiness now that you've thrown away the one good thing to come into your life in a long time. Dude, (I had to throw that word out there), you deserve the loneliness you're going to receive for a long time now. Trust me those friends won't be able to fill the void you're going to have now.

A young man struggles to find purpose and meaning as he pulled in different directions by best friends, ex-partner and new man in his life.Rule number one: in order to take the audience on an 'in simpatico' journey with the troubled young protagonist, a film/script/level of character development must allow the audience to care. Trevor's problems are well telegraphed - dead-end job, ambivalent support from his friends, cyclical torments caused by junkie ex-lover, estrangement from family etc., but as Trevor is so unappealing, we find it hard to care. All the primary characters are so self-serving - Trevor's life is all about the aforementioned miseries, Jake is sour and one-note sarcastic, Andi is utterly self-absorbed (I want a man/I don't want a man), Daryl's addiction behaviour patterns and Ephraim's need for commitment and reassurance. Everyone looks at their lives and events with such a total lack of empathy that when Andi finally explodes and delivers her drunken tirade at Trevor for being so self-obsessed I actually had to laugh. Holding Trevor isn't about relationships with others, it's about relationships with 'self', and the eventual choice made by Trevor (start afresh or replace one needy and suffering friend with another) seems to reinforce this - Jake, Andi and Ephraim all put themselves first ('you can't go/stay; we need you') and for all the suggestion of positive change (Trevor's quitting from his job), the reality is just more of the same for poor, poor Trevor... his choice.

I agreed with one of the other comments -- self indulgent. Poor little Trevor, he has boyfriend problems, and that is bigger issue than his friend testing positive. Yea, choose between boyfriend trouble vs. HIV . . . hmmmm, which would you choose? I look for the life lessons, the real knowledge that helps us gain some understanding of the big picture, what is important in life. And he got it completely backwards. His friends and the LA life were so superficial and his job was nowhere, none of his friends knew what a relationship looked like and his own was with an addict. Finally, he finds a good relationship, someone he loves, who loves him back . . . and rather than moving forward and facing a new life, he recoils back into the empty existence he was living. But at the end was justifying or rationalizing his fear of living by calling it brave and forward-looking. Say what!? It had the look and feel of a real movie -- but had nothing to teach about real living.I think the life lesson is moving forward, elevating your life, working through your fears and from a better place you are better able to help your old friends. Not by staying in the same old swamp.
