    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.

    The whole shebang is a lesson in solipsism.

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

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

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