Politicians who are civilized AND gay - obviously NOT made in the USA
It's entertaining, but biphobic
I really liked the premisse of the movie. It's awesome that it's in the core just a movie about two men falling in love. There are two strange things in this movie though. And one huge problem.
One is the way their relationship blows up. One of them is being seduced by an ex. The other sees this and thinks he is being cheated on, and leaves without letting know he saw this. The strange thing is that it seems no problem later on. Without it being clarified. But maybe I missed something.
The other strange point is about the sexless relationship between David and Fia. It's brought up by Fia and it was a surprise for David? Really?
And que the biphobia. And that's such a game changer! A movie about a minority not simply erasing another minority, but even having a lead character say "it doesn't exist". Martin saying this could be ok, but he's not challenged. Even though David says that not true, he hasitates.
Even more, it's followed up by the scene where we find out that David is in a sexless marriage and therefore is not bisexual. Making the words of Martin become reality. Making this the worst kind of erasure: erasing knowingly and actively. And the latter is discrimination.
