Product Description
From Amazon.com
Hard-core and unsentimental, this low-budget road movie/romance between two HIV-positive gay men manages to be bizarre, bitter, and intriguing. Figuring they have nothing to lose, Craig Gilmore and Mike Dytri hit the road as fugitives, where they act out bad-boy fantasies amid provocative conversations. Director Greg Araki, who also wrote the script, does a decent job of juggling black humor and bleak rage. It's a tough movie to watch, but nihilism rarely looks this good. Araki continued his bleak look at life with later films, The Doom Generation and Nowhere, both of which pander more obviously to self-involved Gen-Xers. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Ultimately memorable, if a bit of a mixed bag,

This review is from: The Living End: Remixed and Remastered (DVD)
A film I enjoyed far more than I 'should' have, given how many individual moments I disliked.Full of somewhat forced, wanna-be John Waters style humor that is sometimes funny, but often just over-arch and clunky. And some of the acting is weak, the rest only pretty good. Yet underneath it all there is something moving, raw and honest in its punky rage at the world from an HIV positive point of view. Sort of a gay, surrealist Thelma and Louise made on a shoestring. For all the moments I rolled my eyes, I feel like it will stick with me over time.

Very low-budget and a bit out-dated,
By
This review is from: Living End (VHS Tape)
It's hard to believe this film is only ten years old, because it seems a bit tame by today's standards, compared to how it was perceived when it was released. The film is shot on an almost non-existent budget, the acting is weak, and the chemistry between the two protagonists is not the strongest. Still, it has its moments, telling the story of two HIV-positive men who have nothing to lose, literally, including their lives. As with most low-budget, independent films, it takes a lot of patience to get through some of the quirks, and perhaps a few viewings to appreciate what is really going on.

This review is from: Living End (VHS Tape)
This movie rocks. It is also ashame that people can't stand seeing realily and have a deep seated need for gloss. Or maybe their homophobia is showing????
