A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
This series / short film can be a very good example and case study on why amateurish film making can sometimes do more harm than help to a subject that still considered taboo in a country like India. Nothing, absolutely nothing is good about this 45 minute short film. Story line is perfectly straight forward. Riya and Sunny are roommates. Riya's mother has been trying to setup her daughter Riya with a man for a while and enter Canadian India Roger, who is visiting India for some business. He stays with these roommates for sometime. Slowly Riya starts to fall for him, but it turns out Roger is gay too and before you know, Sunny and Roger are an item. Riya is initially sad thinking Sunny stole her man only to realize that Roger has always been the way he is.
Where do I even begin on how horrible this was. Starting from really bad acting by everyone. Riya was the worst of all. And then that made up accent from Roger. I mean, it was so fake that every time hw would open his mouth, I just couldn't help laughing. I mean who are they trying to fool here. I al ways believe that if you do not have means to execute a story, including believable characters, then set a film or story where it makes more sense. There was absolutely no need to have a Canada return boy here. He could have been from any place on the earth or even within India. Also the sudden love and attraction between two boys is just so random. Its more like, we are the only two gay men around here, so might as well be together. No character I any chemistry or sincerity here. The film/series is shot in an apartment and stretched beyond belief. And the background music was so jarring. The film is supposed to be drama and serious subject, but the music constantly playing throughout I more comedy or just random, which is so not in sync with the mood of the film. I appreciate, film makers or storytellers wanting to create more LGBTQ friendly content in the country but please, make something that's at least even half decent. No one in their right mind can recommend this film to anyone to watch. (1/10)
