Overall, this was a good film that was very well acted and directed. Especially enjoyable was Lupe Oniveros as the theater manager who befriends Buck (she is given some of the best lines). I did not rate this film higher because I did not feel the climax of the plot was consistent with what went on before. I don't want to give away plot points, so I'll just say that there is a shift in a certain character's actions that did not quite add up for me without the whole film turning into a subversive attempt at pro-gay politics. I also did not feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for the main character as many critics of this film did. He seemed more deranged and pathetic than anything else. Still, it's a good movie in the independent tradition, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting story to watch.
