Review

Captures the adolescent experience with rare and bracing veracity - Hollywod Reporter --Hollywood Reporter

Glue serves as an example of how to refresh and make strange a perennial subject. There has lately been a flood of coming -of-age movies, but what makes Glue somewhat exceptional is its intimate, lyrical atmosphere and its almost abstract painterly use of video - New York Times --New York Times

5.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful illustration of how a cast's personal life can influence a films creation...
By HM on 9 Nov. 2009
Format: DVD
This is one of my favourite films - I'm getting a little addicted to back dating my reviews, but this I feel is more than worthy! It's one of the first films that really got me into quality gay cinema. It's a beautiful snapshot of someone's life, and although there is sometimes a lack of plot, this is not a bad thing as it gives you time and space to really be absorbed by the characters.

Alexis Dos Santos perfectly uses a variety of formats, DV, 16mm and Super 8 footage - each having its own benefits to the section of film they are used to portray. The film has a very authentic feel throughout, mainly helped by the improvisational acting techniques that so many film makers try to use but fail miserably.

All in all, this film is a definite must watch for all new queer cinema or fans of improvisational work. It shows how powerful a portrait of a character can be and how the casts own personal life can influence a films creation in a phenomenal way.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Why are there girls' things and boys' things?"
By Son of Nietzsche on 7 Feb. 2008
Format: DVD
The latest pedigree offering from the impeccable Picture This! stable, 'Glue' (Spanish, with English subtitles) is a film not easily forgotten. The cast is minimal, focusing largely on Lucas, our 16 year old protagonist, his best friend Nacho, and their age-mate Andrea. We are treated to a glimpse into a few short weeks in the lives of these three characters, as they hang-out, flirt, sniff glue, and enjoy polymorphous physical intimacy in a dusty South American desert town.

But to categorize 'Glue' as a coming-of-age film would be trite in the extreme. While there are many examples of what would be considered the usual 'adolescent angst' (secretly comparing body development against that of friends, awkward silences, parental conflict, watching porn on TV, the importance of music as a form of expression), the portrayal of youth in 'Glue' is more iconoclastic; they are not simply going through a 'phase'. The nihilism portrayed is of a degree commonly seen in films by Gus Van Sant, or in Araki's 'Doomsday' trilogy. There is no sense that the characters will ultimately follow in the subservient footsteps of their parents: they are the last in the line; the contemporary, disenfranchised generation. Araki aficionados will note the subtle, background TV news reports about 'another 15 year old suicide'.

The reference to Van Sant is appropriate also from a stylistic viewpoint. Time-lapsed clouds; blurred and shaky camera shots; sunspots on the camera lens; an emphasis on reddish, earthy tones in the hue and color employed: all add to the impression of a youth eschewing the modern world and trying unsuccessfully to find their way back to nature. This is further emphasized by the role of gender identity in the film - or rather, its absence.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsI was so BORED
By Nicholas Casley TOP 500 REVIEWER on 28 April 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This DVD was bought without having previously seen the film, so when I sat down last night to watch it I did not know fully what to expect. It is very much like a fly-on-the-wall documentary with dodgy hand-held camera as we watch Lucas amongst his friends and family, experimenting sexually and with substances (hence the title).

But like most films that explore the world of drugs and growing up in this way - that is with little or no script, with no structured storyline, indeed one could argue with no plot at all - it breaks the cardinal sin of being SO BORING. I watched it till the very end, but had already decided well before that I did not want to waste two more hours of my life in watching it again. And so, this morning, it has found its way into the bag for the next doorstep charity collection.

3.0 out of 5 starsEngaging - at times disturbing - thought provoking.
By Kurt Clare on 19 May 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie both disturbed and enlightened me in many ways. At first I found the style to be overtly simplistic, lengthy and crass. However, as the story unfolded I understood why the Director would take such an approach to his story. It is meant to be gritty, raw and open.

Ultimately, this amounts to a painful examination of a disintegrated family, which in these times is neither unusual nor rare, and the impact such has on youth. Now I am no fan of the 'traditional family values' argument, as this is often overstated to the point that abuse, intolerance and outright failure is ignored. I am however, a fan of families that honour each other and communicate in a way which is dignified and supportive (despite the differences that will ultimately emerge). Unfortunately, this family is none of the above. The mother is a broken woman having been betrayed by her philandering husband, and yet she tries desperately to find some respect for both herself and her children. Alas, her efforts have little effect, as her children have learnt to merely exist, and in doing have removed themselves from parental influence. If anything they rebel against such, finding solace and direction in their peers. This of course is far from ideal, as their peers are not immune to the effects of broken families, and are within themselves mere students of life.

The great irony in this movie, is that whilst there are no family structures, normative thinking remains a pervasive presence in the lives of these adolescents. This irony is perverse considering that the 'adults' that propagate these social norms, have no moral basis upon which to claim credibility. They are hypocrites, or more accurately products of consequence.Read more ›
