The Cost of Love is not a pretty movie, one could also say it's definitely not a movie for everyone.
It deals with the friendships of several characters and the way their lives deal with the tragic, simplistic and sometimes horrific events which make up the lives not only of themselves, but also other people they are acquainted with.
For non-gay audience members, this will certainly be an eye-opener, because it doesn't cover up gay related activities, it shows them in all their glory...it also shows that physical & domestic abuse isn't primarily a heterosexual condition.
All the stars do their roles justice, in particular the late Michael Joyce ( a personal friend), who not only plays a pivotal character by the name of Shaun, but he also re-creates his "drag" persona Estee Applauder...a character who is as complex as the movie itself.
Watch this if you want to see a side of life, you may not be acquainted with or if you are a part of the wider gay community, you will also see close friends of your own being portrayed by the characters in the movie.
A must see.
