There are so many wonderful, cutting edge and meaningful LGBTQ+ films out there. Regrettably, this is not one of them. 'Lazy Eye' should have been titled 'What am I Doing Here?'. This line is actually uttered by one of the characters toward the end of this mediocre tale of reconnection, loneliness and guilt. Dean, an artist who's married to Brian, but spends a good deal of time geographically separated from him due to work, tries desperately to rendezvous with Alex, a heartthrob from his past. Dean's search takes 15 years to search and is finally successful. Alex visits Dean in Cali and sparks start to fly immediately between the two of them. Dean neglects to tell Alex he's married and very much in love with his husband. Alex finally figures it out but only after he has fallen in love with Dean. He finally asks Dean 'What am I Doing Here' and this viewer thought that one line made more sense than did the rest of the movie's dialogue including the film's title. So much mumbo jumbo occurs between these two who both, in reality ,would have been better off not reconnecting.
I wish the writing were better, as well as the direction and acting by the two leads. It wasn't awful, but not too good either.
