Director/wrer Yen Tan, born Malaysia, but has based his films firmly the US queer cema soil, PIT STOP is his third feature, surprisgly nabbed a nomatn for John Cassavet Award 2014 Inpennt Spirt Awards, which on a bright si, bpeaks that is not an ual homo-erotic fare cranked out to gratifyg s niche are two paralleled stori take place a small town lled Dodge, Texas, about two gay men, Gabe (Heck) and Ernto (DeAnda), they are strangers the begng and sted to meet, but Tan patiently spends three-quarters of the time nstctg their rpective relatnship snags, then nsummat their enunter wh an timate and romantic fish touch to imply that a brand new start is is rehg to fd out that our protagonists are not stereotyped urban hipsters this time, their blue-llar background may suggt that they are more prone to homophobic hostily wh their social circl, so thanks God that Tan wisely leav enough lacunae to that ont, sce is too stale and signifint pared wh what he tends to explore, the ner stat which mostly reflects om their relatns wh the clost is a nstctn work ntractor, he was married before, and is recently dumped by his partner, a closeted fay man, who backtracks on their cisn to start a new life together.

Bee of s unnventnal stcture and slow pace, has been wily cricized by amatr reviewers of gay this is by far the bt gay movie I have ever seen, and I've seen hundreds - all the on that are worth seeg and many more that aren't. When the two men fally meet, 's the sweett, hottt stuff ever shown on any kd of screen anywhere on and Ernie are the realt uple ever any gay movie, and Bill Heck and Marc DeAnda are the bt actors who ever played gay characters.
Every word, every sound, every movement, every gture, every glance of an eye or lift of an eyebrow is of any kd - gay or straight - jt don't get any better than this.
It is the story of two mid-thirtyish gay men, Gabe and Ernto, livg separate but not totally dissiar low key workg class liv the same Texan small town. One of the bt gay themed films ever. That do not mean is void of angst and nflict; however, this film do a better than average job of balancg the very real challeng many gay men face wh a thread of hope and an emphasis on personal fulfillment.
This lyril narrative�look at the stggl of people both gay and straight to fd love while livg ral Ameri.… * pit stop gay film *
It do not pict gay people as livg a bubble, nor do e straight people as mere props. I highly remend P Stop to anyone who enjoys movi about everyday people and thk would be an pecially worthwhile movie to watch for anyone wh a gay fay member or iend. Am 56 and was searchg for gay themed movi on Youtube when I me across this move.
I have long dreamed of the type of gay movie I would like to see this f the bill every way.
P Stop A fely nuanced portra of two gay men a small Texas town slowly fdg their way toward each other, "P Stop" is a low-key but ultimately eply satisfyg third feature om helmer/-scenarist Yen Tan ("Ciao"). * pit stop gay film *
You have two brilliant actors playg mascule gay men small town Ameri. I, too, was left wantg to see more of the buddg relatnship form between the two gay was satisfied that the endg implied there were better tim to e for the two men.
Very aquate portra of gay untrymen.
