Excellent but underrated film
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
There are so many emotions in this film it's hard to latch on one the first time you watch it. It's not your typical gay-themed film and it brings a refreshing breath of life to it's genre. One of the best characters in my opinion is C.W-or Christopher Watchowski. Every small character has been so meticulously planned out the entire film is a pleasure to watch. I suggest multiple watchings just to fully get the gist of the plot and see all the characters as individuals and appreciate them. From Danny's father to Shane's parents all the characters are a delight to observe. The plot of time travel is also very unique in that the way that the time travel occurs is never actually explained. Yet it doesn't need to be, the film is packed full of enough action that you never really miss an explanation. The cinematography is fantastic-very real with sharp colours and smooth transitions with special effects. I can't wait for the next movie from this crew.
Judas Kiss is a truly an excellent film in every way. Of course, Charlie David's performance was great but the big surprise was the performance of Sean Paul Lockhart (a.k.a Brent Corrigan.) He was spectacular in his role. The story line really made me think about my own life and the choices I've made. The production values are incredible, especially given it's an indie film. This is a movie you need to see more than once (twice for me so far) as little things you might miss the first time become more obvious the second time.This could easily be a main stream film regardless of the "gay content." J.T. and Carlos should be very proud.
I saw Judas Kiss at the Rhode Island International Film Festival in August, 2011. Aside from some technical issues on the festival's part, I really enjoyed this film and am looking forward to getting my copy. I can't help but believe that I will pick up on more symbolism each time I watch it! It was also great to see a piece Of work from Gay Cinema that could break the boundaries of the genre and work well in mainstream film festivals like RIIFF!The characters were entertaining and thought provoking, and the writing made me snicker and laugh throughout while still keeping me enthralled during dramatic poignant moments. The cinematography was gorgeous, rich in color and well composed.I'm not always a fan of magical realism, as many films don't do it justice, but Judas Kiss ranks up there with Across the Universe in my mind! Unlike the later, it was based more in reality (or perhaps alternate reality), which created a great escape without going too far outside of the boundaries as we think of them.Great soundtrack as well!
It's extremely refreshing to see a film touted as an LGBT film where story and character are the focus. It's not a coming of age story, a coming out story, or a story where character sexuality takes the main stage. It is merely a story who's characters happen to be gay. And a decent story as well. I enjoyed watching the narrative boldly and apologetically unfold. It doesn't waste time trying to explain what strange phenomenon is going on, it just marches forward.Technically, I found the cinematography very well done. The soundtrack is good. Fx subtle. Direction well done. The performances mixed, but overall I felt the main cast did very well. At times, I felt the pacing was a bit off, but that is just a personal opinion. I feel Judas Kiss is worth your time and I hope many get to experience it. Looking forward to the DVD release so I can experience it again!
