Moreton shows plenty of ambition in his second feature, but somewhere in the space between page and screen, he lost the thread. Full Review |

incredibly plot-heavy yet feels light as a feather Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Filled 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. Full Review |

The movie's primary interest seems to be in following several good-looking men wherever they care to meander. Full Review |

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. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
[Relies] on a creaky plot and gaping lapses in plausibility. Full Review |

Unfortunately, Testosterone isn’t as provocative as its premise or its title. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
A tonal car wreck -- the equivalent of Chuck Norris crashing though the pages of an Isabel Allende novel. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
The tone-challenged movie is meant to be a dark comedy, but there are long stretches without laughs. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Broken 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). Full Review |

A lackluster and meandering exercise in psycho-sexual provocation. Full Review |

The film’s major objective appears to be showing cute men doing suggestive things. But if that’s your thing, why not just look at pictures? Why ruin it with a story? Full Review |

|
1/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
Woefully shallow. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
The male characters are bland, a fatal flaw for a gay movie, while the women - Celina Font, Sonia Braga and Jennifer Coolidge - steal the show. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
If 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. Full Review |

|
It's evident that Dean is capable of getting many other good-looking boyfriends if he so desires -- why get so worked up over one who's a jackass? Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Heavy on the eye candy, light on plot and logic. Full Review |
||
|
0/4 |
105 grueling minutes of film noir-inflected nonsense. Full Review |
||
|
|
Never manages to reconcile its conflicting tones and ultimately lacks the wit necessary to fuel its outlandish plotting. Full Review |
