Sodom aims high and, all in all, is a beautiful film. Telling the story of a "straight" young man's struggle to come to terms with his latent homosexuality a few weeks before his wedding, it explores themes that are relevant to everyone - regardless of age, gender or sexuality - such as courage, grasping fleeting opportunities and the need to sometimes face up to life-changing decisions.
The two characters are well-fleshed out and convincing in their portrayals, although Pip Brignall's acting is a little patchy. For me, the strength of the film comes from the atmosphere it creates through its camera work and lighting, which construct a self-contained "safe haven" in the apartment in which the bulk of the action is set.
Although the ending leaves the characters frustrated, the emergence into the light after the dark night of introspection strikes a final note of positivity.
