5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful dreamy sunday afternoon viewing, 2 Mar 2008

By	B. Walker "brettster" (london) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this was a such a loving movie, was a real pleasure to see the depiction of HIV and not being in such a mode that it rules the whole story line. this movie is set in north carolina and centres around Kip Purdue (hot hot hot) and his move from a religious home to follow his mission to save turtles (believe me sounds corny but this is not a major drive of the movie). He was adopted into this family after a mother had to give him up due to her age and the story focuses on these three aspects, the preacher and his wife (they lost their adopted son due to their beliefs) the mother who gave him up and is desperate to find the son she has always missed and him finally finding a home where he is loved..

you will be dazzled by the coastal shots of North carolina I am already looking to book a flight there....the story is so heart felt and true and not messed up with typical gay themed movies of over the top camp charactetrs...these are real gay men lving a real ife...the acting is gorgeous and you will be made aware to the end of the movie the time lines are different...the scene under the pier is so innocent and the music soothes your very heart..

it will make you cry when you see what happens and it strangley stays with you for some time....a great story great acting a believabel plot and a back drop that will brighten your day!

buy it watch it and it will blow away and dark clouds in the sky...

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully crafted film - very touching, 19 Oct 2008

By	Andrew (London, England) - See all my reviews

This is a beautiful film. Haunting gentle music and beautiful scenery. I had never thought of North Carolina before - very rarely depicted on film I guess - but this film made the locations very attractive. It was a film which soon after I started watching it I knew I loved it and was totally absorbed. And I felt myself wanting the film to go on and on - I even checked the timing on the case hoping it was longer - can't remember doing that before! I felt thoroughly absorbed in the film. There is a very clever interweaving of timelines which takes a little getting used to - as a result I was quite shocked towards the end as I had not really expected the ending. And it's not obvious quite how all the characters are related until well into the film. This is a very believable film with very believable characters - wonderfully acted - even the great Michael Learned of Waltons fame gives a great performance. All brilliantly acted. I was glad as well that the characters are not portrayed as simple stereotypes - the minister and his wife are not "hateful" so much as not understanding - unwilling or unable to understand due to their "conditioning". Nothing was overplayed to make a point. I appreciated that - most people like this are not "hateful", just with different perspectives and understanding - not the same as ours. I highly recommend this film. It's a beauty. Very moving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant And Haunting., 9 Jul 2008

By	linea "linea" (Kent) - See all my reviews

A story told simultaneously from three different angles and set in three different years, Loggerheads shows the three parties connected by an adoption 21 years before.
Mark's story is set in 1999, a 21 year old man, he is sleeping rough in Kure Beach, North Carolina where he studies and protects the loggerhead turtles whose females always return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs. Mark is soon befriended by George who owns the local a motel, and who provides a room where Mark can stay. Mark quickly informs George that he is HIV positive, assuming that George's kindness is in exchange for sex. But George is a genuine good samaritan and their friendship grows slowly and with mutual trust they reveal the secrets of their pasts. George's lover drowned in a mysterious accident, Mark ran away from his adoptive parents when they discovered he was gay; both men are tender and vulnerable souls afraid of further commitment.
Set in 2000, the story reveals Mark's adoptive parents, church minister Rev. Robert Austin and his wife Elizabeth who believe homosexuality is a sin and even resent their neighbour Ruth who places a nude statue of Michelangelo's David on her front lawn. The couple's estranged son Mark is rarely discussed and the adoptive parents never communicate with him, but neighbour Ruth does. Ruth finally confides to Mark's adoptive mother that he is ill and for Elizabeth the wounds of separation soon become too unbearable to ignore.
Grace's story is set in 2001, recently recovering from a suicide attempt Grace longs to connect with the son she was forced to give up for adoption at the age of 17. Now living with her mother who believes the past should be left in the past and Grace should not try and discover the son she never knew. She begins a quest to locate her son and pays an adoption finder to trace him.
Although it sounds extremely complicated, the three separate years of story told simultaneously make complete sense as you are essentially a voyeur into a human drama of immense substance, one that unavoidably binds the contrasting characters. The acting is universally good, with all the lead characters giving highly credible performances. But the real impact of this stunning film is due to the superb writing and direction of Tim Kirkman who takes a story based on difficult issues and shapes it into a realistic, heavily layered and engaging drama. My only criticism of the whole film is that for some reason, (probably the success of Brokeback Mountain), the cover image and description gives the impression that it's a `Gay' film, which couldn't be further from the truth. Loggerheads is a poignant, haunting and superb drama, and for anyone who likes low key indie films it's very highly recommended.
