NYFF Review - 'The Inspection' Unearths Empathy in the Trenches of Bootcamp
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
Acting Straight
Directors Willem and Tofik take a closer look at their own experiences and engage in conversation with other gays about their position in the gay scene. Where one consciously distances himself from strict expectations, the other seems to be losing out. Acting Straight exposes an uncomfortable truth. Pride may be their motto, but the fear of not being masculine enough has gripped many gays.
