Harry And Max goes forth with a brazen commitment that's impressive

Village Voice

Boldly matter-of-fact and a little bit nuts.

Rated - 2 starsSexual Perversity in LA

Rehan from London , 28/03/2006

This is a seriously weird film, one which falls firmly into the Why-Would-Anyone-Bother category.

It depicts the highly improbable and sexualised relationship between two brothers who are BOTH some sort of pop star: unlikely, to say the least.

When they get off with each other's former lovers, it becomes more than a little sick.

None of this is helped by acting which is passable but voice control which is wooden to the point of mahogany - listen to the soundtrack and it certainly isn't un-self-conscious (and who would blame them?). The younger brother looking like an only-just-masculine version of Renée Zellweger really doesn't help.

Don't bother with this: there are better films to see and life's too short for such creepy nonsense.

I disagree with the other reviews of this film. I think the sexual relationship of the two brothers was credible - the younger one beginning to discover he's gay; the older one with self-esteem issues and needing to be first in his brother's life. They take these personal isssues and try to resolve them through sex, which is damaging to both of them, although they are reluctant to admit it. I do see a connection between the sexuality and incest. They aren't just playing around with a sibling but a male sibling and clearly take this sexual ambiguity into other relationships as well. So, I did enjoy the central premise of the story. I agree with the other reviewers though that the director/writer took the plot in the wrong direction. The flings with the previous lovers didn't fit with the story at all and were the least convincing part of the film. The rockstar/teen idol plot never really worked either. However, it's rare to see a film about incest and this one captures the heartahces and passions of that illicit relationship quite well.

Rated - 3 starsControversial and Uncomfortable viewing which did not make me think enough...

Pete Shuttleworth from Hemel Hempstead , 02/02/2006

This film is story of two brothers who have a sexual relationship with one another. It is about dependency and the damage the siblings inflict on one another consciously and otherwise. The film makes the relationship seem 'natural'and as noone knows about the brothers there is no confrontation about what has happened when really we would all expect there to be issues about the film's content.

The film should have made me think more about the long term consequences and causes of such a relationship but it did not and I think this is what is poor about the film. That and the fact they drew a comparison between a gay relationship between an older guy and the younger brother and the relationship that the two brothers had themselves which is not acceptable.
