By far the best of three gay-themed films from Regent Releasing that open today in regular runs on separate screens at the Sunset 5 is "Watercolors," David Oliveras' wrenching tale of first love. Tall, rangy Kyle Clare makes an indelible impression as deeply troubled, sexually confused high school swim team standout Carter Melman, who dreams of an athletic championship. Carter is drawn to brainy Danny (Tye Olson), a gifted artist and object of chronic campus homophobia, who swiftly falls in love with Carter. Olson is splendid too, as is the rest of the cast, which includes Jeffrey Lee Woods as Carter's well-meaning but killjoy father, a shaky 60 days from his last drink; Casey Kramer as Olson's staunch, loving mother, and especially an always- distinctive Karen Black as Olson's supportive but tough-minded art teacher. Olympic champion Greg Louganis is not surprisingly perfectly cast as Carter's no-nonsense swimming coach.
This is a graceful film that shows how people apply increasing pressure on Carter without perceiving his underlying distress and instability.

The writing is lazy at times, but convincing performances by Tye Olson and Kyle Clare in the central roles elevate David Oliveras’s “Watercolors” above run-of-the-mill gay cinema. This modest movie, with a side plot that looks unblinkingly at gay-bashing among high school students, deserves to attract crossover customers. Mr. Olson plays Danny, a gay high school student with potential as an artist. [...] Vai alla recensione »
