| “It’s an insidious but intriguing question: if a pill could
make a gay person straight, would it ever be worth taking?
John Baumgartner’s suspenseful debut feature explores this
charged topic, turning in a highly original work of gay
science fiction, and sketching a near future that is distressingly
not inconceivable. Tim Barrens is a lonely gay man who’s
sick of dead ends. Doted on by women friends, spurned by
other gay guys, and resorting to sex with a straight buddy,
he’s enlivened by news of clinical trials for a new pill
that may change his sexuality, and perhaps (he hopes) improve
his life. But can his very personhood survive this test?
Baumgartner’s taut screenplay and direction, supported by
a sterling cast, take on a chilling prospect, drawing provocative
conclusions.” -Outfest 2005
