Summary: A drama centered on the love affair between two men on opposite sites of the Mid-East conflict: Palestinian student Nimer and Roy, an Israeli lawyer.
Review: I was reluctant to watch this movie because I had heard of some violence in it and overall hate but this is one of best gay movies there is out right now. Just the controversy of a Palestinian and a Israeli falling in love is enough political hatred but then add in the fact that they are men just puts a new twist on it. Out in the Dark kind of brings back the principles of what a real relationship should be like. Nimer and Roy have so much chemistry and love that it bursts out of the screen. The boys have so many obstacles like countries, religions, politics, families, death and they are still willing to put everything on the line for each other. Again, this movie is very political in that it shows the real issues between Israel and Palestine and how they affect the relationship between Roy and Nimer. You don't see that kind of love in movies anymore, nevertheless, in gay cinema. This movie is in Hebrew and Arabic but it is completely worth the reading. Overall, 9/10 because the ending was very open to interpretation and you don't really know what happens, it forces you to use your imagination and me personally I don't like that.
