I liked this movie because it's fresh, insightful and mostly deep. It gets you thinking what would happen if the easy or even opportunist but wrong choices that I make today take me towards the path downhill and what if only I am only to blame for if all goes wrong! This film is not unique for it's 'bending the time continuum' theme but the message or conclusion that we receive out of the story is something I never found before in any film. There are a lot of perks of the central character being gay, like you can sleep with younger you if you go back in time, or you can have 'being somebody's sexual property' as an option on your life choices list(and what's up with that anyway?). Other characters are sufficiently developed. The character of Abbey Park (The co - producer at school, co - judge when grown up & Mrs. Blossom aged) could have had been developed even more. What I like the most about this films is however, the fact that even though the story happens in alternate realism the conflicts in the life of the central character do not magically vanish, certain choices and their consequences remain the same, which is great because showing Zach's life turned around completely was possible but the story somehow manages to keep it somewhat real, and yet at the end of the film we feel good about the central character. A good movie to watch at least once.

Such an amazing movie! At the beginning, I though that was just an LGBT film. It gives us a different feeling when we know that the main characters are gays. The film with nice quality and plot caught ours attentions.After watched this movie. I realize that I should really think about if the decisions I'm gonna make are the best for my life.If I could go back to past and met myself, I would change the choices what I had made wrong. It is a movie which worth watching.

I had the chance to see Judas Kiss at the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco this year, and walked away very pleased. Rare is the gay film with fantasy elements that makes it into a festival, and I can certainly see why this movie has been making the rounds.Judas Kiss deals with time travel without going into the sci-fi aspects of it. In fact, you're not even sure it's time travel, but whatever it is, it gives the characters a chance to reconsider some decisions and what might happen if some things had been done differently.The acting in this movie is excellent. Charlie David and Richard Harmon as two sides of a coin are outstanding. (Harmon is someone to keep an eye on.) Sean Paul Lockheart is very good as the innocent boy pining for someone who doesn't notice him. And Julie Morizawa is the best pal everyone wishes they had. She plays the part with enthusiasm and just the right amount of self-aware amusement to be adorable.The cinematography is rich and lovely, and the direction is fluid, keeping the movie moving and entertaining. The visual effects are very subtle and exactly right for the kind of non-descript time travel elements of the story. Most important, though, is that the story is a great exploration of integrity, regret, and hope. Even after a few months after seeing the movie, I find myself thinking about the characters, the situation, and what if.

Sometimes we wait too long before we get serious about our careers. Sometimes we start with everything and fall into a hole. What if that happened to you and you had the opportunity to go back and change something in the past that would alter your future?While some people seem thrown by the premise, this is a fantasy and so it has it own rules which it follows scrupulously, if you watch closely enough to discover what they are.Zack returns to his Alma Mater to judge a film festival when his close friend Topher is unable to attend. There's a shimmer on the invitation when he opens the envelope that is barely noticeable. As he pulls onto campus he looks up and the clock tower shimmers for a moment.After settling into his digs for the weekend, a dorm room, he goes out to find the towns gay bar where he's attacked by a really cute boy, who sneaks out of his room in the morning. Later that day he is confronted by the same boy in the interview session for the film makers who are vying for this years prize.The actors are very convincing, particularly the two young film makers, Danny and Chris, as they explore a potential romance. Chris, portrayed by Sean Paul Lockhart, is especially convincing as a former innocent who doesn't want to get involved in a possible triangle.The underlying tension that revolves around who might win the festival and what will happen to Danny's film is particularly engaging. As the story develops we grow more concerned about the decisions Zach will have to make.This film has been enjoyed by many audiences across the country at this point, receiving a resounding ovation at the screening I attended.
