Undertow (2009)

This movie left me speechless and deeply moved. Everything in this movie seems just perfect- from the scenery, the colours in each shot, the actors... and it seems like Spanish never sounded that beautiful. I think this movie is a piece of art and I would just hang it somewhere in a museum :) That's how beautiful it is. I watched a lot of gay movies and this one is besides "Brokeback Mountain" and "Shelter" one of my favourites. But gay or not gay, I wish there would be more beautiful movies like this one. Simple story, few characters and beautiful scenes.

I was surfing on net last night about best gay movies than i came to this movie.. After watching this movies i cried for almost an hour, because in India its almost same, difficult for people to come out about their sexuality and most of the married Indian males try to search their love in other guys.The story, the acting and the emotions are so true and you can easily relate you with movie. Simple, small and friendly village, where people understand each other and lives in a unity and the emotions of a gay men, his simplicity and the way he messed up with all the stuff makes it more real. The end part was very touchy and i still found myself crying when i think about it. I know how it feels to say goodbye forever to someone you love more than anything in this world.This is one of the movie where they have represented gays with a different point of view unlike other movies about only sex, gay parties, sex buddies and making jokes on feminine gays. Its about the true feeling of a guy for someone, though he love his family but he doesn't wanna loose that someone special as well.

Just finished viewing it from a recording I made last night from BBC2 Probably the best film on this subject ever made I cried uncontrollably at the final scene. Sensitive and brilliant directing and acting. It should be compulsory viewing for all sixth form students, homophobes and bigots as it may help reform their views and lead to a more tolerant and understanding society. I speak from the position of one who has suffered three quarters of a century of abuse from such people. Having to live a life in isolation and alone because of the love that dare not say its name. Having to pretend to be something you are not is soul destroying having to hide ones feelings to deny them and suppress them is devastating and was so beautifully portrayed in this most beautiful but extraordinarily apposite and sad film. Thank You.

I liked this movie about what it could be like to be gay in a small Peruvian seaside village -- painfully difficult.Amid strongly homophobic attitudes, Miguel is having a clandestine affair with an artist named Santiago. The two genuinely seem to care about each other. The only problem is that Miguel is married and his wife is about to give birth. Though Miguel's situation will leave many unsympathetic, I was fully drawn in and engaged. I found nearly all the characters highly believable and likable and I cared about their perspectives.This compelling tale takes place in a gorgeous environment.I like that the story ends less happily than honestly.Seeing this was a deep and satisfying experience.
