...en nøgtern skildring af kærlighedens veje og vildveje. Det er en film om uimodståelig tiltrækning, der modsætter sig enhver rationel eller logisk forklaring. En film om det umulige valg mellem to goder.

...når den er bedst, er filmen bevægende og udfordrende. Den demonstrerer en helt ny fortællemæssig og filmteknisk drevenhed inden for homofilmen, her forstået som film skrevet og instrueret af homoseksuelle eller om homoseksuelle temaer.
