Golden Boys (2016)

2022 Entry #011 01-29-22 “Golden Boys” is a 9 minute 2016 short which was written by Andrew Musselman & directed by Jill Riley. The plot concerns three men breaking into their old school to memorialize the death of a boy they bullied (often suggesting that he was gay) despite (or because of) the fact that they might be gay themselves.

I wish I enjoyed this more. The actors are fine and there are some nice images but I found the fragmented story confusing and it felt like I was missing a big piece of the story. The IMDB summary features several critical details that I don’t think were featured in the actual film, or at the very least, they weren’t made clear enough for this audience member.

I rented this from Amazon Prime; it’s part of the collection “The Male Gaze: Three’s Company”, which I’ll likely continue with soon.
