Road to Love

it is a nice entertaining film. Touching... It seems as low budget or simply artistic to illustrate the works of a student in search of gay Arabs.Well acted. I believed that the characters were real, as in a reality show. The photography gives a retro looks. It illustrates the topic, showing a little of the life of mid 20's Arab gays. The story line develops nicely; nothing is obvious. It keeps one engaged. Well done independent (?) film.Male nudity is minimal. Home-erotism is well managed.Recommended.

Some of the acting was a little amateurish but the movie started out well with good production values. Unfortunately it seemed the creator lost interest after a certain point because it devolved into a bunch of scenes loosely strung together. Maybe no one could figure out how to properly write the character's evolution in order to get to the ending. It's an okay movie if you have any interest in how gay men exist in Arab Muslim culture in North Africa.

The story was quite nice and sensual, but the acting was sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Overall, it was interesting to see the difficulties of Muslim gay lives, but also the difficulties of merging hetero life styles into gay life styles. One Muslim young man has a Muslim girlfriend, but he has a school project that is to film the history and difficulties of Muslim gay life. In his project, he comes across a Muslim guy who flirts with him during filming. At first it was a simple friendship in order to gain access to more members of the Muslim gay community as it is not an easy task with homosexuality hidden away in the Muslim community. However, this friendship flourished into trust and other feelings that the film producer doesn't quite know what it all means, especially being that he has always lived a heterosexual life style with his girlfriend. Can he be gay for enjoying his time with a gay friend? Or is it just a phase for the moment? Is he in love with this man? Can he see himself with this man for the long term? Is this man interested in him only for the moment because what would he be giving up for this person such as his girlfriend. Is his girlfriend worth giving up only to be with this man who knows for how long? Many questions to ask and much difficulties to answer. See what he decides in The Road To Love.

Worthwhile but nothng much new to see here. Conflicted young men coming of age. A nice rainy afternoon of viewing perhaps. But don't cancel a date for this one.

Don't do semi-porn. I do not need it!

I dont think there are any more explanation as to why other countries abhor homosexuality to the core. While both men, Farid and Karim are obviously handsome and innocent, they share the story of daily battle with being not only muslims but gay as well in country like Algeria. I love the film, gave it 5 star and recommend it to anyone that is into foreign films like this one.

This movie seems to have surpassed the artistic intellect of some of the low-star reviewers. The story of Karim and Farid starts very structured and ends with clips that evoke emotion without guidelines. I highly recommend this movie as the themes of friendship, love, and confidence come to life for a man who lives a life without certainty and then embraces that uncertainty to discover where he fits into the world.

The protagonist is handsome in a feminine way (especially when he dances). It might have worked better for me to have a more masculine actor playing someone who really is just realizing he likes guys as he goes through his research (his topic is presumed to be a subliminal choice).
