    Pit Stop

    Reviewed by

    Pit Stop, a smash at Sundance deserves all the accolades it has received. This non-sensationalist film caught me by surprise being unaware of its theme, the sad reality of being gay in Texas... small town America. Its complete lack of melodrama and total honesty show that mature male intimacy (mid 30's+ a bit) like any tender love story can overwhelm as we witness its trials and tribulations. The two male leads, one married, one openly gay are so convincing that they make us truly believe in the power that is love. This sad but redeeming story just happens to be between men so one might dismiss it as 'usual gay exploitation film.' The more I thought of its dilemmas, the more I realized the exact same things happen in affairs between straight men and women yet we never yell out exploitation of 'another straight love story.' Sure it sounds cliché to say love is love no matter one's preference, but in our all too real world everyone has his/her ups and downs in relationships, both the heartache and the joy. Pit Stop tells a convincing story with great courage. Who cares who the protagonists happen to be!
