Movie Info

A man strives to find meaning in this biting comedy drama by Rosser Goodman. Trevor is in an existential slump: bored and fed up with L.A.'s empty party scene, tired of watching his best friends self-destruct out of listless boredom, and tired of dealing with his boyfriend Darrell's drug problem. Then, after taking Darrell to the hospital for yet another overdose, Trevor meets Ephram, a warm, intelligent medical intern with a refreshingly grounded perspective. Trevor is ready to make a go of it

R, 1 hr. 28 min.

Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Comedy

Directed By: Rosser Goodman

Written By: Brent Gorski

Here Films

Trying to plumb beneath the usual emotional shallows of twentysomething L.A. gay life, Holding Trevor sometimes succeeds, but mostly comes off as a vanity project for writer-star Brent Gorski.

Holding Trevor, a portrait of 20-something gay men and their straight friends, is a joyless exploration of middle-class deadbeats.

Such an anomie-filled nothing of a movie that it wouldn't even be a pleasure to savage it.

This stuff is too easy to find on daytime TV.

The whole shebang is a lesson in solipsism.

In Holding Trevor, there's a depressed form of anger bubbling beneath the surface.

Brings back bad memories of Nearing Grace while tainting fond ones of Catcher in the Rye.

Literally had to force my way to the end of the movie. It really is terrible, don't waste your time with this one.

A sometimes dull watch, however Kranski's adorable sexiness is worth the watch. Average acting, a done-to-death plot, and an ending that makes no sense, perhaps for lack of character development/background on the part of the trio of friends. Worth a watch if there's nothing good on TV, but aside from the cuteness, somewhat forgettable.
