Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

teejay4407 I wonder why many people like this movie so much. Why was it interesting? I have no idea. I think I have a problem with French made movies; perhaps because of how they are directed, but I think it's just the screen writing. They always fail to develop any interest for me. I've only tried 2 or 3 mainstream films, and now only two gay-themed films, and it was with great surprise that I truly enjoyed "Just a Question of Love." On several technical levels, "Felix" was quite good; I gave it a "2" because as I sat there watching, I kept asking myself, "Why am I wasting me time doing this?" In the end, all that really matters is whether I enjoy watching the movie. And in this case, I didn't.It's not that I go mainly for all-action, adventure flicks --- it's exactly the opposite: I rarely watch them. I get the point of the film, but it was not -- for me, at least -- presented in a way that I found the slightest bit entertaining. In fact, the story itself seemed hardly worth telling. I fast-forwarded through most of the movie after the "My Brother" sequence, stopping for a glance now and then. Nothing. Maybe I missed the good stuff.

Step O'Rafferty This is a film that I liked because it reminded me of my own hitch-hiking road trips as a young gay man in Australia and New Zealand. Felix is a very likable character and I enjoyed going along on his trip with him!!!I also found it interesting to get a glimpse of life in France from the perspective of a gay man who has some North African blood in him. I liked the way the film focused on his relationships with the people he met along the way, all of his encounters were heart warming and humorous. I especially liked the way he related with the elderly woman who invited him back home to her place.

harry-76 Not being acquainted with provincial French culture, I can't exactly evaluate the accuracy of the remarkably instantaneous associations made by Felix with those he meets on his travels. It does seem that folks take to him immediately, inviting him into their homes and treating him like a longed-for family member.Perhaps this is how it is in France nowadays. If so, they're certainly are a friendly lot, and Felix indulges their invitations with a bon vivant spirit.Unfortunately, it's made clear that Felix is viral-positive; thus, when he engages in an intimate relationship with a driver who picks him up, it's another matter. Since there's no indication that Felix shares his health status with this stranger, what the enactment becomes is one of possibly infecting an innocent, unknowing person.There's nothing light or pleasant about that prospect, in fact, just the opposite. Thus, what's seemingly a light-hearted, carefree journey, becomes a much more dark tale of blatant moral irresponsibility.

Bob Drake Felix, a happy-go-lucky gay man, loses his job as a ferry worker (because of the Chunnel) in the north of France and decides to find his father, whom he has never met, in the south by hitchhiking through the countryside, agreeing to meet his lover, who will travel by train, at journey's end. Along the way he meets an assortment of interesting, unusual characters (one segment being called "My Younger Brother," another "My Grandmother") who reaffirm his journey.Felix himself is gay in both senses, despite dealing with a host of pills for HIV. His humor and sunny disposition light up a lighthearted film.Not to be missed.
