I gave this a chance entirely because of the film poster, which looked intriguing, but unfortunately could not get all the way through it. Nicely shot, if on an obviously tight budget, and passable TV-level acting, but it failed to grab the attention at any point, so most of my thinking started being taken up with trying to figure out what political point it was attempting to lecture me on, and who put up the money for it.
On the surface, it seemed to be all about homosexuality and race relations in 1950s America - although the depictions felt very anachronistic - but the characters were so flat and lifeless, and the dialogue so trite, I honestly couldn't focus in on it and so eventually gave up. I've really no idea why this was made, or who believed in it enough to pay the bills: my best guess would be that it's a wealthy person's vanity project, or some kind of student film made on a grant handed out for its unclear but box-ticking social content. Oddly puzzling but very boring.
