As I was checking out the DVD collection in the univeristy library I caught the glimpse of Joseph Gordon-Levitt on this DVD cover. A film he'd been in that I hadn't heard of? Figured it was worth a watch.The film tells the story of two boys who were sexually assaulted as children, and how this effected their lives - with one becoming a male prostitute, and the other not remembering the event and believing he was abducted by aliens. The film presents the events in a very raw and graphic way - there is no attempt to sugar-coat the events. The film is very moving, troubling even, and often hard to watch. It is one of those films that you'll never forget, never want to watch again, but feel better for having seen. Both leads, Brady Corbet and Joseph Gordon Levitt, were terrific. Not for the weak-hearted, but for those who can stomach it, well worth seeing.
