"This is a wonderful tale of gay love, life and death, told deftly by director Sountru. The film shows off the really big talent of actor, Michael Vega, and Sountru's incredible ability to find up and coming young Asian talent for his project. This is not your run-of-the-mill gay movie. It's done with humor, delicacy, and intimacy, telling a story that hasn't been told before on film. Don't miss it."
For anyone who wants to love again

"
How often have we forgotten the simple pleasures of loving and remembering someone? I watched this movie with my boyfriend, and it made us recall how love can be very simple, yet exciting, and full of surprises. When someone leaves, it can be both sad and joyous. When someone enters, he is actually returning in another form.
I like this movie cos its a story told simply and poignantly, not like many gay-themed movies that portray gay people as either incorrigible party-queens, or as tragic subjects destined for heartbreak and discrimination. Still, there are enough kinky bits California-style to make this a racy movie with some twists.
Another thing I like - Beautifully shot and nice music. Definitely a winner and keeper, for any one who knows how, and wants to, love again. "
Refreshing View of Gay Life

"The producer/writer/director has given us a refreshing glimpse into gay life told with humor, imagination and moments of introspection. For any of us who have gone through losses, it takes us to the "other side" and how the "other side" is helping us along the path to healing and reclaiming our lives. This would be a fine addition to any gayman's library of films."
Be Open to Beauty

"Beauty takes many forms and sometimes you might not "see" it immediately. This film reminds us that our vision is often blurred by our strict reliance on our physical eyes. This is not your typical gay film. Open yourself to Beatific Vision and you'll open yourself to unequal beauty!"

"I think that the story's very interesting and a lot of laugh. The production is taking very seriously. I can see that the director spent a lot of time and thought in his film. A very touching gay lovely movie that I highly recommend."
