Title: No Exit - Compelling, Ennui-laden Realism
Review: I shied away from this at first because of the "controversy," but found it just too true to life; a bit brutal, artfully filmed, plaintive, sad and strangely uplifting at the end.It felt large in scale by examining the enormous confusion and pain of a very young gayish teenager. Yet it also felt intimate, in the way Long Island communities are clannish, somewhat corrupt, and duplicitous.While exploring controversial issues of youth sexuality, it wasn't done in a tawdry way. Less provocative than Larry Clark's KIDS, but more cohesively structured and less seemingly exploitative.
