STEEL

* steel gay movie plot *

Premiere at the Miami and Fort Lrdale Gay and Lbian Film Ftival earlier this month, is a typil low-budget, gay B-movie, that featur geo guys and gratuo nudy. Obvly, there is somethg eatg away at Daniel, but he is so private about his life—he don’t even adm he is gay—that will take someone special to unver all of his secrets.

Exceptnally good gay themed movie. I am always pleased when I see a gay themed movie wh good actg, an engagg story, and high productn valu.

Chad Connell put a very strong performance as an emotnally nflicted gay man as he go through a major psychologil crisis. The film has lots of ndy eye, but that don't seem to be a problem for an homophobic dience, sce the plot velopment not is too aggrsive, at least om my pot of view.

Here are some remarkable films which have impacted society posively by breakg boundari wh their reprentatns of gay men on screen. * steel gay movie plot *

The story pulled me and even though the plot twist at the end which I won't reveal (spoiled other reviews anway) isn't as well executed as one might hope, still took me by surprise and felt actg by lead actor Chad Connell as Daniel is by far the bt aspect as he livers a solid and rtraed, subtle yet effective performance as a tormented gay man tryg to e to grips wh his realy.

Gay man mental breakdown yawnathon.

OK so I thought to myself "hmmm gay films are never ually that good. The 't get me wrong, I totally get why they did this and I'm not sayg didn't make sense bee did, but jt h me the gut when they revealed a lot of gay films out there suck. In fact, I serly don't know how the producer got the money to create this movie wh such polish (then aga, this is a Canadian film, so I'm sure they got a public grant for their required quota of gay films per year).

This is one of those gay films that I'll e back to and thk about how ma me feel.

Gay-themed psychologil drama.
