Consensus: Eloquent one-liners and quick pacing make Boy Culture sharper than the typical gay indie flick.
Theatrical Release:Mar 23, 2007 Limited

Audiences outside gay cinema will, frankly, probably find it too callow to emotionally invest in. However, for those who do see it, they will likely be surprised, and entertained, by its arch insights and near-camp bearing.
07/06/07
Boy Culture is an undemanding but sufficiently engaging serving of smut and sentiment. As such, it reclaims territory that queer cinema has largely ceded to TV shows like Queer as Folk, The L Word and Six Feet Under.

Top CriticSeattle locales, some spry lines and tiny soundings of depth still leave us in the conceptual grip of 'love' as a system of endless bartering and vanity, with impulsive copulation treated as consecration. Oh, boy.

Despite cliches, film does click.

Top CriticBOY CULTURE is a well-made, engrossing and well acted comedy-drama. [The main character] X can easily reside alongside Jon Voight's Joe Buck in MIDNIGHT COWBOY as one of the screen's more memorable hustlers.
05/07/07
You know something's amiss in a movie when an omniscient narrator blathers the entire way through it.
05/04/07
Top CriticBrocka's direction keeps things moving, and the performances he draws from Magyar, Stephens and indie-film veteran Bauchau are always up to speed.
04/27/07
These self-involved studs manage to make ready, anonymous sex look rather dull.
04/27/07
A drab, contrived drama in which men have sex and then complain about it to us.
04/23/07
A smarter-than-average relationship drama set in Seattle's gay scene, Boy Culture boasts a winning sense of self-awareness.
04/23/07
Top CriticBrocka leaps into the small circle of leading queer filmmakers of our time, sculpting an unpredictable romance that is complex, sophisticated and thoughtful.
04/12/07
Direction and performances are not up to the task of making this convincing or moving.
03/29/07
The overall effect is merely narcotic.
03/24/07
Shrewder than you'd think and not half as dumb as it looks.
