Solid, if unspectacular

The review about this product

Griff and Pete are fellow students and lovers. Griff wants their affair to be a secret, playing the straight game, while Pete wants the opposite. Then, one night, a brutal assault takes place..
Defying gravity has many strengths, among them a levelheaded script and some very restrained acting by Daniel Chilson and Niklaus Lange. It strives to be more than just a [homosexual]teenage movie by keeping the emotions in check, stearing clear of provocative scenes. This is admirable, even if the result often looks like a TV-movie of the week. The danger just isn't there.
Still, all the characters are interesting, even the bad guys. The script holds back enough information to keep you guessing, and the ending is quite acceptable.
Note: The word "[homasexual]" isn't used at all in the script! Other defamatory expressions for [homosexual] people are frequent, though.
There is a scene right after the end-credits which you shouldn't miss. Don't turn off until you get there!
