Review of Doorman

Doorman (2006)
8/10
Unnerving but powerful

Warning: Spoilers
Diego (Jamil Mena) is a very handsome, muscular doorman to an apartment building. A college student named Garret (Stephen Sheffer) also lives there and hits on Diegoi. Diego resists at first but then falls in love. However events occur which shatter Diego's love for Garret and leads to a disturbing but satisfactory conclusion.

Quick and no budget but very well done gay short. There's very little dialogue--almost the entire story is conveyed by the actors looks and body language. Sheffer is OK but Mena is excellent. He has the lead and he has to go through every emotion silently. The conclusion is powerful and a little depressing but it IS a happy ending (in a way). Worth catching.
