A simple film that reli on the chemistry between Wright and Rowe, tellg a sweet g-of-age story about a young gay man tryg to figure out what he wants life.
I hate g the term "gay themed film" bee very often most of the "them" the films are jt as relevant to all this is the story of a guy disverg that he is attracted to a man and attempts ( a very homogenized "movie of the week" way) to exprs all of the challeng that e wh that disvery. It's a sweet film to spe 's stereotypil plot pots (sadly there is always some tth stereotyp), but bee never gets to ep to the emotns of the ma ("gay") characters I don't thk serv as anythg other then "light entertament'. "Shelter" may feature a gay romance but 's a far cry om one of those chey gay movi.
