Amazon.co.uk Review
Like It Is is much like watching a train wreck--the very idea of it is repellent and yet you perversely can't avert your eyes. While its urban grittiness and sooty veneer entranced some critics who mistook its violent, netherworld neorealism for art, Like It Is offers little in the way of redemption, positive gay imaging or even particularly good narrative. Paul Oremland directed this venture about a young, gay Blackpool tough named Craig (Steve Bell) who bare-knuckle boxes for money. He ultimately moves to London in search of a better life and falls in with the trendy London gay-club scene, meeting and falling for a handsome record producer named Matt (Ian Rose) and his wealthy boss (played by the Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey). The better life is quickly tainted by disillusion and misery, much as is the viewing experience. Steve Bell is, in real life, a featherweight boxing champion in Britain and therefore brings an urgent and raw vitality to the lead, but the characters as a whole are either irritating or unsympathetic, and it's ultimately difficult to find anyone to care for, or a story worth empathising with. --Paula Nechak, Amazon.com
DVD Description
Craig, a cute, closeted bare-knuckle fighter lives in a violent world, where winning is everything - but losing can mean death. When Craig meets Matt, attraction is instant, but Craig can't handle intimacy. Though their first night is a disaster, Craig follows Matt back to London, but his friends are suspicious and try to ward him off Craig. For Craig, 'sophisticated' Soho is a revelation, but how can he stay when those closest to the man he loves want him gone? And if he leaves, will Matt throw aside his success and ambition to be with the first guy he has ever truly loved?
