Reviews for Testosterone
Top CriticBroken hearts and testosterone don't mix well with machetes (I think I would have preferred watching the 10 months of romance that they skipped over in the beginning).
12/03/04
105 grueling minutes of film noir-inflected nonsense.
10/22/04
Instead of a new kind of gay protagonist, Moreton serves up a macho drama queen with serious abandonment issues.
09/10/04
Silly revenge film saved by three belles: brilliantly campy Sonia Braga, refreshingly earthy Jennifer Coolidge and to-die-for gorgeous Celina Font. You go, girls!
09/02/04
Both the people and the plot become so riddled with illogic and inconsistency that you don't care -- or fully buy it -- when an explanation, of sorts, gels in the end.
09/09/04
The tone-challenged movie is meant to be a dark comedy, but there are long stretches without laughs.
12/09/04
Testosterone, a shaky comic noir larded with soft-core sex, is a movie for connoisseurs of male eye candy. It wants to be much more.
09/09/04
Top CriticIf you want to see a movie with some real chops about gays in Argentina, rent Wong Kar Wai's still-hip, still-smoldering Happy Together from 1997, and happier you will be.
11/04/04
A pointless, wandering tale of obsession that seems to have little purpose beyond showing that gay characters can be in a messed-up movie too.
12/17/04
Top CriticFilled with pretty faces and empty logic, David Moreton's noir-wannabe Testosterone flounders about, doing everything but flutter its eyelashes in an attempt to distract us from its lack of substance.
01/14/05
A lackluster and meandering exercise in psycho-sexual provocation.
12/02/04
Top CriticThe male characters are bland, a fatal flaw for a gay movie, while the women - Celina Font, Sonia Braga and Jennifer Coolidge - steal the show.
11/19/04
Unfortunately, Testosterone isn’t as provocative as its premise or its title.
12/11/04
[Relies] on a creaky plot and gaping lapses in plausibility.
12/17/04
Top CriticA more accurate title would be Melatonin.
09/07/04
Top CriticA tonal car wreck -- the equivalent of Chuck Norris crashing though the pages of an Isabel Allende novel.
12/10/04
Top CriticMoreton assembled all the right elements -- a piquant premise, a strong cast and intriguing locale -- without bothering to provide a proper script, a truly fatal flaw.
09/18/04
This is a movie in which things happen for no reason other than that the director wills them to happen in order for something else to happen, logic be damned.
11/26/04
Top CriticAwkwardly juggles screwball and noir elements with macabre black comedy in a mix that calls for a far lighter, more stylish touch than the obvious one at work here.
