There are two good aspects of this movie:
1. Emile Hirsch's acting really stands out (he's not bad shirtless either)
2. It does a good job of showing how forcing yourself into the closet twists you in unpleasant ways.
Beyond that, the movie is pointless and goes nowhere, nothing more than a brief window into disturbed lives. They don't get much out of the experience, and neither do we.
Since IMDb seems to think that reviews have to be wordy to be worth posting, I'll add that in some places, the movie plods (and I *don't* think movie has to be an action movie to be good: Maurice is one of my favorites). I have to give additional points to Emile for being willing to do some of the things it looks like he did for real with the chicken too (though I doubt the last bit was for real, hopefully).
