Was it Love or Lust - The Acrobat review by CP Customer
interesting film that for the first 90 minutes flew by, but then as it reaches its denouement it began to sag and the ending I found rather flat. The acting from the lead actors was excellent and the starkness of the sets added to the mystery! Well worth a watch but could it have been better?

Excellent Gay-Themed Movie - The Acrobat review by WH
I must admit-having seen the trailer-I was a bit sceptical about this movie. Well- I was very pleasantly surprised. The acting is very convincing- lets face it there are some things you cannot fake! And the characters were totally believable. It was well directed and edited - and- always a sign of a good movie- I was hoping it wouldn't end. Although over 2 hours long - it never flagged. All I would say is that although extremely interesting for a gay male audience- I have my doubts as to its wider appeal. But if you fancy a good night in with a DVD and a drink- THIS is the one to choose.

Great until the end - contains spoilers - The Acrobat review by AG
Refreshing story about two men sharing an interesting time in a half finished high rise flat in a cold and wintry Canadian City. I was enjoying this until the last 15 minutes or so. Some call it art but I just don't enjoy endings that don't have a tight and satisfying conclusion. A great shame.
