Confusion set in the south?,
By A Customer
This review is from: NEW Delta (DVD) (DVD)
This indie film certainly sets the gay movement back about 30 years where all gay men are either sraight and confused or end up as a villian. When the two lead male characters got together I was looking forward to the growth of a relationship. Once the firework scene ended and the chase began I knew I was doomed. The ending clearly certified for me that this one has no gay pride.

Confused teen on a lazy river,
By Bob Drake "BobDrake" (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEW Delta (DVD) (DVD)
It isn't clear what motivates our boy. If it is lust, it is a lazy river lust. He cruises a gay pick-up spot but rejects the advances of an adult, but only after following him to a motel room. He then cruises a teen haunt and pals with a mixed race guy who harbors his own demons. They steal his family's boat and have an adventure, but never truly connect. In the end there is a murder and a shower scene in the nude, but they only add to the confusing, surreal tale that is The Delta. Haunting, but in a lazy, Delta sort of way.

Interesting .... but for a limited audience, in my opinion,
By Michael A. Brocato - Published on Amazon.com
A compelling character study -- revolving around the confused relationship between a 17-year-old Memphis student and a slightly older Vietnamese immigrant -- that makes for a fascinating tale of sexual, social and racial differences and injustices. Lincoln (Grey) is a sensously handsome youth who, though having a girlfriend, cruises the city's parks after dark for clandestine sexual encounters with other men. There, and later in a peep show store, he meets Minh, a talkative but very troubled young man and the son of a black American GI father whom he has never met, and a Vietnamese woman. Minh takes a liking to the shy Lincoln and they soon set up a strange, quasi-sexual friendship that quickly results in a boat ride deep down the Mississippi Delta in a modern quasi-Tom and Huck adventure.These two opposites -- Lincoln, the privileged white teen, and Minh, the poor foreigner -- for a bond that inevitably leads to trouble. The film suffers from poor sound, but for adventurous filmgoers, it should not be a disappointment. 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful

Provocative but incomplete,
By Jake "carbocation3" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Delta (DVD) (DVD)
The film's twist on the Huckleberry Finn/American West motif is well-done and commendable. Similarly, the burgeoning relationship between the two young men is initially well-dramatized. However, Minh's character lacks development, and potential dramatic use of his disenfranchisemnt (half-black, half-Vietnamese, gay, poor) is unexplored. Minh's character arc lands him the only place he could end up: risking what little he has to avenge his abandonment. Yet we are left wondering the complete reasoning behind his decision, and, in fact, we do not know Minh's name until the movie is almost over. Without due psychological exploration of Minh, the movie's pace is jerky and the film left being somewhat cryptic, which would be to the film's credit if it seemed intentional.
