SYNOPSIS :
Adapted from the American novel "Rainbow Boys" by Alex Sanchez, this Thai coming of age tale is chock full of cute young Asian boys! Nat the official school gayboy is in love with his best friend Tat. Tat is in love with school basketball hunk Ek, and Ek is supposedly in love with his girlfriend Da. Unfortunately Nat's love is unconsummated and Da finds herself without Ek as he struggles to come to terms with growing desires for men. Meanwhile, Ek and Tat form a bond that carefully steers towards a relationship despite the complications of homophobic school bullies and disgruntled uncomprehending parents. (Thai with English subtitles)
REVIEW :
Right by Me toys with sophisticated explorations of young gay life in Thailand, but the story ultimately boils down to landing the cute boy. Is there more to life?
Thanyatorn Siwanukrow's college gay romance, Right By Me, following the Outfest consensus, is "cute." When the programmer introduced the film, she described it as a "cute" film. When she recounted her and fellow programmers' initial reactions to the film, they all thought it was "cute." Later she continued and re-emphasized how really "cute" the film is, and hopefully the audience will think it's "cute." After such a tirade, these comments would've normally already driven me outside the theatre and found me heading back into the parking lot. Being promised, or threatened, with cute isn't always a good thing. But I stuck to it
Admittedly, the three male characters of this film are tolerably cute: Nat, the flamboyant and comfortably gay man even as he's constantly beaten up for his homosexuality; Tat, his best friend who's yet to tell his parents that he's gay; and finally, Ek, the basketball player who's struggling with coming to terms with his attraction to men. The geometrical shape of this narrative is, of course, that of a love triangle: Nat's in love with Tat and has no problems expressing it; Tat's in love with Ek and struggles with it; and Ek is supposedly in love with his girlfriend, Da, but finds himself drawn more and more to Tat, especially when they really get to know each other as Tat tutors Ek (the proverbial jock who's bad with numbers) in statistics. Further complicating these up-and-down relationships is each character's family situation about his homosexuality, which, however close it gets to feelings of hurt, rejection or even hatred involved in coming out, generally sticks to a utopian, alternative universe (basically, all the mothers end up supporting their gay sons and all the fathers, if one had one to begin with, eventually drop off the narrative earth).
Taken in isolation, each character is drawn out well enough, probably because the film and screenplay are based on Mexican American Alex Sanchez' books Rainbow Boys, which targets the gay teen market. But as interesting as they are and as sympathetic the audience becomes to each of the characters' distinct problems with being a young gay man in Thailand, there's a palpable absence of a strong emotional and critical core, especially in the family context, which would've held the audience's interest more tightly.
