That was an excellent one.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Awful. Somehow this got onto my list of gay-themed movies (I'm gay), so that's why I watched it. Let me say this right away - this is NOT a gay movie. Not even close. A few of the guys are moderately cute, but the situations are not erotic, so that doesn't amount to much. The idea for the story has some potential, it could have been interesting, but the way it's developed is so labored and boring that any potential is totally lost. The characters are all total hetero Neanderthals, both male and female. So it's a boring straight film, told in a boring manner. No humor, no intelligence, no imagination. I had to force myself to watch the last half, just so I could write this review and feel confident I was not selling it short. There wasn't a single moment in the entire film when I thought "Wow, that's clever." Instead, watching scene after scene, I was groaning in pain and disappointment. An idea with potential was totally squandered. Everything is after-school-special level insight and execution. Trust me, it's boring. And NOT gay.
I suppose that my summary says it all I had medium expectations for this film. I liked the concept but was worried that it would be played for the wrong laughs and bathroom humor. Instead I, and you will be as well, was rewarded with a sensitive and witty look at how we deal with our own identities.Luke has to work through the age old question of "who he is" though he is working in some unfamiliar territory.Pay attention to the dance of characters and you will not be too startled in the end. Though the premise is far fetched the director has managed to pull it off delicately and satisfactorily.I loved all the leads, but found the character named Jeanine to be the wisest of the bunch.
I was a little skeptical to watch this movie when I first heard about it. I couldn't tell if it was a comedy or a drama. Yet, within the first five minutes of the film, I was really too impressed with Taylor Handley natural acting skills and lovable portrayal of "Luke," to really care."Zerophilia" ended up being funny and dramatic at the same time. The whole idea of switching genders through a genetic condition somehow worked in the story's overall message of acceptance-no matter who you are.I think I'll watch it again, if not just to see the reaction of everyone in the theater in the shocking scene with Luke (wow).
I was walking down the street when I... anyways I met the director and got tickets to see the world premiere of it at Rebel Fest in Toronto. It should have been in the TIFF, but it didn't meet the deadline.The movie is "so creative" as my friend put it and I haven't seen anything like that for a long time. Both of us are taking film courses in college.The premise is the main character has a disease that changes his gender in minutes when he gets turned on. My only complaint is that it's hd quality and not widescreen.I think most people would enjoy this film's quirky subject, and comedic dialogues. Unlike most films, Zerophila isn't predictable and not conservative. Also there's also some sort of frog motif going on in there.
