collette61 I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters in Peru, it caught a lot of people's attention over there because Peru being a somewhat conservative country, the gay theme is still in some parts taboo, you don't see many people coming out; I know there are a lot more daring movies about homosexuality overseas, but this film was a big step in putting gay culture on the map in Peru.I have read the book, some parts are not mentioned in the movie which can throw the viewer off sometimes, but in the end it did stay true to the story. Once I got to see Jaime Baily with his wife at a fair , I think it was the 90's, it has been a while since i have heard about him in articles, I don't know if he finally came out, but in the book, it makes a suggestion that he got married and still kept his relationship undercover with the guy that he fell in love with, if you see the movie, the only reason why he got married is because the girl willing to do so, thought that she somewhat could change him.

jopur I rented this DVD based on the strength of Santiago Magill's performance in the film: "I love you, Baby", (not to mention he's a total cutie). I was impressed with the naturalness and vitality of his acting, even though I was not too thrilled with the movie (I love you, Baby) itself. "Don't tell Anyone" is basically a coming out story that unfolds in present day Lima, Peru. Joaquin (the protagonist) is a young gay man of Spanish, not Indian, descent who is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality in the face of the overbearingly machismo culture of his native land, and also the barely concealed racism of those of Spanish descent against the native Indian populace, which racism Joaquin does not share. While the ending is somewhat ambiguous, it seemed to me, even though there weren't any seashells and balloons, that Joaquin had come to some acceptance of himself and his sexuality. Also, there is one scene early on with Joaquin and a young Indian man that shows Joaquin's indifference to matters of race and caste. This is significant in that a gay man is demonstrating far more humanity and decency than any of his so-called Christian family and friends, particularly his father. But all such issues aside, if you have an interest in well-acted and written gay-themed movies, then by all means watch this one. 8\10 stars.

akrenko I really enjoyed this film --- a great and emotionally complex movie that, like life, is full of ambiguity and difficult questioning. I really felt for the main character as he struggled to be both happy and honorable in a world that will not accept him as he is. I also found myself wavering over just what the right answer for Joaquin was. Not a conventional story, but a very rewarding two hours; highly recommended!

Churu This one has bad sound, and some of the performances are poor. But the plot is great, is actually excellent. The leading actor and actress are excellent. The only thing I didn't like about the movies is it explicit and graphical content, is just too much beyond the limit....
