CGiii Comment
B-actor Howell goes behind the camera (and in front) for his 1st feature.
Based on the Michael Kearns' play Complications - it really is just a series of monologues and it suffers from it - being too preachy and predictable.
The production values are poor which detract from the sentiments portrayed on screen.
There are too many sex scenes which is an unimaginative addition to the stage show.
It may have worked in the theatre...but, as a movie, although it does have a few things to say, fails due to a poor adaptation and insecure direction.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
One person's life leads to another in this web of tales about drugs, sex, gay life, aging and being HIV+. Each is played out in a series of steamy, telling monologues.
