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

    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.
