Shrewder than you'd think and not half as dumb as it looks. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
At times a little callow around the edges, Boy Culture upon reflection, displays considerable insight. It is buoyed by some incisive acting and writing and anchored by a standout portrayal from Bauchau, a versatile veteran of international cinema. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
A slick and absorbing drama. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
It's a better-than-average gay relationship film, largely because neither plot mechanics nor the same old camp intrude much. Read full review

VarietyRonnie Scheib
A strong cast, formal visual style and cynical voiceover that propels the action help elevate this Seattle-set gay romp from the ranks of the stereotypical. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerGianni Truzzi
These self-involved studs manage to make ready, anonymous sex look rather dull. Read full review

Boston GlobeJames Reed
It doesn't know if it wants to wallow in its characters' pity or to flesh them out with their own personalities. So it does both, with half-hearted results. Read full review

Washington PostJonathan Padget
Opportunities for dramatic tension, comedic effect, erotic energy, even just flat-out weirdness -- all are squandered by Brocka and the actors in a haze of blandness that gives the film all the edge of a particularly gay Gap commercial. Read full review
