went to watch this movie out of curiousity as it was given very good reviews by the papers and 8 days. rated r[21] in singapore for mature theme. a rather dark tale of child abuse and homosexuality.a tale of 2 teenagers with 2 very different lives. neil [joseph gordon-levitt] lives a vicarious life of paid sex with older men while brian [brady corbet] tries to find out what happened to the missing 5 hours in his childhood. was he really abducted by aliens?
in the end, the audience realises that both are just coping with their common childhood experience in their own ways.
contains one graphic rape scene that's uncomfortable to watch.
my rating? 4 out of 5.
gritty.
