A series of one night stands, strange encounters, and bizarre pickups leads him into a miasma of confusion and doubt. He thinks he has discovered love in Bruno (Juan Carlos Torres), but wakes up to find his partner inexplicably vanished. Gerardo wanders the streets of Mexico City, seeing flashes of his ex in all the male bodies he encounters. With a Dear John letter in hand, he struggles find the hidden meaning in this written rejection. The meaning of love, or lack thereof, haunts him as he searches for connection to humanity. The strength of this picture, which was an official selection at Sundance Film Festival and winner of the Teddy aware at Berlin, is upheld by profoundly artful B&W cinematography by Diego Arizmendi.

A sad, slow-moving tale, marked by literal as well as spiritual poverty.

S. James Wegg

Julián Hernández has ... a film that will remain in memory for along time for anyone who knows the ecstasy of early love suddenly dissolved by unaccountable abandonment.

A ponderous, quiet little mess that has nothing to say and no idea how to say it anyway.

A self-consciously arty piece that may be psychologically useful to its writer-director but is torture for its audience.

Mr. Hernández's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment.

A murky and morbid dirge of a gay romance set in Mexico City.

Combined with the careful posing, enigmatic action and flowery language, it all amounts to something less than an 80-minute Calvin Klein advertisement.

Elizabeth Weitzman

Self-indulgent in the extreme, Julian Hernandez's laconic ode to heartbreak feels like the work of a lovelorn teenager.
