Honestly, if we supported more indie queer films, stories like this one would have the budget and attention they need in order to be developed and rich in quality. The storyline itself is simple, and carried my interest despite both the acting and camerawork feeling amateurish. The supernatural powers for the pianist did not mesh with the rest of the story, which was a bummer because near death experience becoming raw talent is a concept I find fascinating. That could have been weaved in way better from the start of the film, or maybe the whole film could have been structured differently, and personally I would enjoy seeing this film set somewhere colder like NYC. The parallels of both men having partners who don't trust them interested me.
