Many on here have stated how depressing this film is and I suppose they have a point, but I saw it differently despite its sadness. I saw this as the story of a man wanting himself and others around him to live lives without deceit and with honesty. He is coming to this point in his middle aged life after his father has just died, his lifetime job is ending and he finds himself slowly pursuing a young male prostitute. The film never gets into details about the past regarding his sexuality, but he is clearly new to this facet in his life and one has to suspect that he's been secretly dealing and not acting upon these desires. The lead performance is wonderful. Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is an actor I am completely unfamiliar with and he is just simply perfection in this role. Ultimately, it's a fairly simple story about a man wanting to live honestly despite what may be. The ending was a bit of a surprise, but it's an interesting way to leave us.

Has the story and the characters to be a great film, and whilst it's good and draws you in quickly, time flies and before you know it, it's finished... However, it doesn't finish. It has no conclusion, it's literally just left hanging...

Rialto (2019) - I'm glad that I could use the subtitles for this one. There's a lot of quiet whispered talk in a very strong accent. It's not a cheerful film at all with Colm dealing with the death of an abusive father and Jay still dealing with his own Dad and being a parent himself. I didn't realise that so many people had Daddy Issues like mine actually. There's also a lot of aggression between everyone in general. Although it's got a quite dull, grimey and sordid element to it, there is also something very sweet, but also erotic about the connection between the leads. It's not just the sexual scenes, which aren't actually that explicit, but also the timid and saddening relationship between Colm and Jay, as they open up to each other. It's that moment of intimacy as your getting to know someone while the urges continue to build. It's filmed in a similar way to 'Vera' (2011-), so alike that I kept expecting her to turn up and accuse Colm of murdering someone. I think that would have just made his day. It would have improved the film too as the story doesn't really go anywhere and there's not enough of anything else to make it worthwhile really. As such there's not really a lot of point to it for me. The acting is all very fine and all that, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor in particular, but it could have been used for something a lot more worthwhile and to tell an LGBTQ+ story that doesn't seem so seedy and wrong. I'm probably a bit too sentimental, but I would have liked the two leads to have found a kindred spirit in each other and run off together. What actually happens is incredibly boring and the build up that actually had some potential comes to a crashing halt and before you know it the film is over. 309.88/1000.

Superb performance from Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as usual. Really well made film. Ended a little premature for me. Was expecting some closure but perhaps that is the closure. He will just continue as he has been.

Good performances and solid drama makes this movie an interesting and sometimes hard to watch movie. It makes you feel for its characters, their poor situations and its conclusion makes you wonder what would happen next. A good watch.

Very touching and human ..the way his life fallin apart and he keeps saying idk and am sorry..I found it very real life like..though the ending left the story unfinished to me🙁...wish that was like a sequel or something..

A middle aged married man from Dublin struggles to stay afloat as his life and relationships with others deteriorates, his knowledge of who and what he is becomes increasingly acute and the structures he's built his life around begin to cascade and tumble. The far from uncommon drink, depression and betrayal invariably plays out, albeit with a not so common betrayal perspective, which is the only piece of the story that really differentiates it from many things you've seen before. Fine performances compensate for the dot to dot editing, with the conclusion that what you have just seen is generally played out with a myriad of variations on the theme the world over - every day, every week, every year. You may well be playing it out now within your own variation.

Beautiful film. Paced beautifully and acted superbly. A heartbreaking look into the life of a closeted man - struggling to come to terms with himself and the effects it has on the people around him.
