Product Description
From Amazon.com
A deft exploration of what might happen if someone's life took different paths. Ryan (R.T. Lee) is an aspiring screenwriter who's been seeing Joel (Greyson Dayne) for almost three years--and then he meets Leo (Jonathon Roessler) at a party and thinks he may have found his soulmate, a lover who will understand him fully. Drift then follows what would happen if Ryan and Leo fell madly in love, if they just had a fling, and if Leo didn't share Ryan's feelings at all. What makes the movie work is how well realized the characters are; as the different scenarios mark out each turn of fate, their behavior changes but is completely compelling as the actions of the same person. The movie is tightly edited, so that just when it threatens to wallow in relationship drama, it moves forward. Plus, the steamy sex scenes have more heft because of the reality of the emotions portrayed. --Bret Fetzer

SEXY, SMART, & COMPELLING!!!,
By Wes3236 (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drift (Widescreen) (DVD)
Oh my gosh! My friend made me watch this film the other night and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. This is the smartest gay-themed film I have seen since the "The Wedding Banquet." Finally in "DRIFT" we have a gay film about real people who have real people problems. No one is dealing with coming out, self loathing, AIDS, or dying. Nope, no stereotypes here, thank God! The documentary feel of this film is especially compelling, almost making the viewer feel as though they're peeping in a window they shouldn't be. The cast is amazing and their work is so natural that you almost have to wonder if director Quentin Lee just found these people and shot their true story (kind of like a homo-Real World). It's so nice to see actors in a gay film who are smart and sexy without being West Hollywood steroid clones. The chemistry between RT Lee and Greyson Dayne is hot, to say the least - though a little nudity would have been very welcomed. Their break-up scene was so real and painful that it just about wiped me out. I also LOVED the best friend characters played by Desi DelValle and Sebastien Guy. I wish I had best friends like that. The film has a lot of humor, but ultimately it left me feeling extremely melancholy about all the decisions that I've made in my life that might have gone a different way. Anyway, I can't wait to take a look at the other films from Quentin Lee. He has a real eye for real people and real situations.

Excellent-- in theory...,
By J A LeGreve (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drift (Widescreen) (DVD)
Upon stumbling on "Drift" at my local video store, I had to snatch and rent it. Unfortunatly an amazing story line and awesome message was overtaken by medium-rate acting and low-budget shoots.An amazing plot that highlights the possibilities in life lead this film, and is one of its few redeeming factors. It sends a well needed message that little things and choices can change your life more than you think. One can only hope that a studio with a bigger budget may have it in there hearts to remake this amazing script into the maserpiece it has the potential to be.

Low-Budget Does Not Mean Artistic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drift (Widescreen) (DVD)
Alright, I am pretty open-minded about low-budget movies, and I love arthouse films if they are made right. First of all, it is interesting that the cover of the movie tries to make it look like some sort of sex-themed flick, which actually made me avoid it at first. True, the people and the situations look real, but you still watch a movie for some entertainment value of some sort, and there really isn't anything to see her except for a few well-done scenes. It is a documentary, essentially, so if you enjoy watching documentaries, then you'll probably like this. Like the title says, just because a movie is low-budget and gay-themed does not mean that its worth watching!
