Plan B works off a fantastic premise and keeps you hooked for most of the movie. I found myself personally rooting for the relationship while also wanting better for the girl. The film doesn't treat her as badly as, say, straight women fetishizing gay men in fandoms would (this is a whole big thing altogether), but she still deserved better. The camera also just lingers, and the audience takes in whatever they could from the zoomed out frames and certain angles highlighting certain body parts. Therefore there was this disconnect from the audience with the characters, and it could also be the actors at fault. But the film thankfully runs off a premise so enticing, and mostly delivers what it builds up to.

This is a brilliant portrayal of a relationship between men where intimacy is explored and ultimately leads to a more substantial relationship. It was so well done, the exploration of desires, the confusion, the frustration, the joy etc., that I cannot understand why it has such a low average rating.Well perhaps i do understand... its a sad commentary on the maturity and values of the average person rating the film.Gay or straight, this film is a gem. Its message is gender and sexual orientation neutral. It speaks to the human need to be loved and to love and explores those special connections that we occasionally are lucky enough to make through life.Be a child of 12 again and dare to trust and love your best friend... and then let the adult part of you take the relationship to a higher level.

This a very understated movie. Because Spanish is not my first language, it is sometimes difficult to get the full meaning of a movie. Subtitles are not always translated with the real meaning of the dialogue. Because of the method of telling this story, and the superb acting the language didn't really matter. So much of the story is in the facial expressions, attitude, and eyes of the main characters. It takes time to get into the story, but the story is well worth the wait. You need to pay attention, put details together...but you should love this movie! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I got into enjoyed this movie and the way it was told. I watched it twice!

I feel a little bit impatient during the not-so-long 95 minutes of this film, exactly speaking, it could be a 15-minute short film which would be much better in my opinion. I have no intention to be a spoiler, but I'm rather thinking it scorn for the film to tantalize its audiences with all these lengthening fixed-long takes, which appears intermittently and defy audience's tolerance (surely the director Marco Berger is not Bela Tarr, yet, but one thing is assuring, long-takes is a double-edged sword, unless you're a renowned auteur, be careful when you wield it.)Luckily, the film still owns it unique charm, the two leads' natural performance deserves a thumb-up, their emotional trajectories are touching and the chemistry does arouse the pathos inside even if I feel it pretentious occasionally. It puzzles me whether or not I should recommend this film to my friends, it shall work for gay demography and girls who love BL cultures, maybe someone who has yet been interested in the vagueness of a story love beyond sex orientation. As for me, I must admit I have just passed that period.
