4.0 out of 5 stars SO thrilled this has finally been subbed, Jan 19 2008
By Fencer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boys Love (DVD)
I live in Japan right now, where this movie's been out on DVD for over a year, but as my Japanese is conversational at best, it's always been more of a chore to pay attention to the dialogue than the action on-screen.

This movie's really...well, different for everyone. It's moving at parts, and definitely a little cheesy and "wtf" at others. But it's DEFINITELY worth the price here (especially as this subtitled DVD is actually cheaper than the original), and one of the better, in my opinion, gay/gay-themed movies Saitou Takumi has taken part in.

If you're looking for a good 90-minute movie that will satisfy your longing for some nice eye-candy and a moving storyline, then this is it. If you're looking for a revolutionary look at homosexuality...then perhaps you're better off searching somewhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Beautiful Film, May 8 2008
By Megan E. Thunem "Lis" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boys Love (DVD)
On the surface of things, Boys Love might be seem like a simple (perhaps even clichéd) romance that traipses along the lines of vague vulgarity, but by the end you cannot help but feel a certain attachment to its protagonists.

In using the term 'simple', I refer to the general plot of the film, but there are concepts and sequences within the story that cut just a bit deeper than your average misty-eyed effeminate male love story. In such a manner, there are numerous quotes from literature and notable speakers threaded silently throughout, usually as conclusions to pivotal scenes, which encompass many of the emotional boundaries in which the characters of Boys Love entwine - from innocence to promiscuity, tenderness to maddening jealousy. Some of the quotes seem obvious, but many will stir about your sense of reasoning and curiosity.

For the most part, Boys Love is indeed rather predictable. However, the compelling and genuine performances of leads Saito Takumi and Kotani Yoshikazu result in a nevertheless touching and irresistibly engrossing experience - all culminating into an unexpectedly dark and lingering final chapter.

Boys Love isn't a movie to be examined and picked apart, but instead, a movie to be felt, absorbed. There's a lot of heart here, you just have to be willing to look for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great eye candy, but not much else, April 17 2008
By Bob Lind "camelwest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boys Love (DVD)
Quite popular in its home country of Japan, "Boys Love" (2006) has just recently been released in a subtitled DVD in the US.

The film tells the story of Mamiya, a 20-something journalist, who is assigned to do a profile on popular teen model (and amateur artist) Kisaragi Noeru. Mature for his years, Noeru takes control of their meeting, and later of Mamiya himself, as he introduces the young journalist to his first experience with man-to-man sex. Visiting Noeru a few days later, Mamiya learns that Noeru is more than a bit of a slut, and seems incapable of settling down with one person or keeping his word to anyone, including his best friend Chidori, who has an unrequitted crush on Noeru. After Noelru picks the wrong person to go home with, and is the victim of a gaybashing, Mamiya learns from him why he is leery of forming a close relationship with other. amd pledges to be there for him, which turns Chidori into a jealous rage.

It's actually a simplistic story, stretched out to fill almost an hour and a half. Though the film is chock full of great eye candy, the acting is a bit "over the top" and tedious at times. I could also have done without the "proverbs" used by the director to transition from one scene to another, which I found to be anmoying after a while. The ending seemed contrived and hardly logical, as well as unnecessarily depressing. I would rate it four out of five stars for the eye candy, but only two for everything else, so let's call it an average of three stars out of five.
