Technically, this short (59 min.) set of interviews with mixed ethnic Caucasian and Asian gay male couples on a variety of social topics was well-photographed, articulate, and believable. The participants' personalities clearly spanned the usual range: studious, thoughtful, flamboyant, quiet, and so on.
My quibble would be with the underlying premise that all "Asians" of the type represented here have retained their cultural roots to the extent that it has a material effect on the direction such a relationship takes. My parents came from Eastern Europe and I am about as Slavic as an orange. The difference between me and the Asians in this film rests in our physical appearance. Nobody looks at me and calls me "Eastern European," or expects me to carry Slavic values into a relationship; yet somehow these guys are going to be "Asian" (and all that implies) forever.
Having said that, the film has its moments and introduces a topic that still has a lot of room for development.
