SYNOPSIS: Philip Embury wrote, co-directed and stars in this wickedly funny comedy about a self-critical country boy who inherits his beloved great grandmother’s house in the Hamptons. Now, with the bank set to foreclose by the end of the summer – and with some help from a handsome young artist – he must find a way to outwit the ruling class and save his ancestral home.
REVIEW:
I like this film a lot, and I only regret it did not last a little longer. I thought of a sort of Scott Fitzgerald scenario and within a few minutes ' The Great Gatsby ' is mentioned. The dialogue is good, and literate and Philip Embry did that most difficult of things being both the lead actor and director. A handsome man with a handsome script.
The story starts off in Virginia and his dead grandmother leaves the Embry character a house in the East Hamptons. He is a writer and he heads to New York and adventure. He meets another young man, who is not exactly Mister Right but a sort of attachment starts. No spoilers except to say the sexuality between them was not coy, and refreshingly open and honest. All the cast was good and I must single out Bianca Rutigliano as a very believable loving friend who would not run out on him. Shamefully I am the only second person to review. I expected quite a few more. It is a film that will linger in my mind. More visibility is needed for good LGBT themed films like this.
