Quite Irreversible
bkoganbing10 July 2014
Tumbledown is named for Tumbledown Mountain where this film was shot and there's some mighty pretty scenery there. Too bad we did not get a film to match the scenery.

Supposedly Tumbledown is based on a true incident where Todd Verow who also wrote and directed the film invites a hunky 30 something bartender in a gay bar to spend some time in the woods where Verow has a cabin. The bartender Todd Hallowell eagerly agrees and is even more eager when he sees Brett Faulkner, Verow's young twink of a boyfriend.

But Verow does something quite irreversible to both of them and in the end they feel they have to take measures.

None of these performances were anywhere close to Oscar caliber. They're not even spectacularly bad for Razzies. The sex scenes to cover a lot of bad acting. Practice guys, practice, the acting not the sex, you're already good there.

sketch of stories
Kirpianuscus23 December 2021
A real case is used for a film mixing friendship, a trap, rape, testimonies about relation with a middle age man, revenge, porno scenes, solidarity and a sort of justice, definitions of truth and naivety and a sort of story at level of sketches. The older man , the younger ones, abuse, dramatic scenes and a sort of end of reconciliation with yourself .And the floor of kitchen as definitory detail. A film like so many others, not bad, not awful, good intentioned, starting from interesting premise and proposing a noble message as warning. But, obvious, something is missing. The acting is, in large measure, decent when it is not symbolic, but the final taste is about only demonstration of a director of his skills and a good opportunity to use a nice location.

Really bad porn
mikekey1416 May 2022
This is like a really bad gay porn film that had all the actual sex edited out. Acting was atrocious. Writing even worse. Even if they had included the sex scenes, I don't think it would have helped, since actors were not attractive.

Let's be honest, it's a movie about revenge sex..
kalithor10 August 2020
Back in the beginning of the Aids crisis, there was people running around having unprotected sex with anyone and everyone ( revenge sex) with the intention of infecting them. Thankfully that didn't last long. Between serious jail time and more info from research it stopped.
