This film tells the story of a gay man who goes back to his home town to see his family, after not being in touch for twelve years. The film details the interaction between him and his for family members, which is dysfunctional and twisted.
I was captivated by the last film "Tom at the Farm", so I had high hopes for "It's Only the End of the World". This time, the gay subplot is only a minor incidental subplot, as the director has obviously made it big, and can attract a plethora of big stars. The plot is initially quite plain, but as the story builds up, it gets more intense and twisted. One would be excused for thinking Gaspard Ulliel being the star of the film, but it's Vincent Cassel who is the real lead actor in this. His character is so unlikable, that it will surely evoke much emotions in the viewers. The final showdown is so captivating that it is almost unbelievable. The very final scene uses a significant imagery, and it brings viewers right down to rock bottom. This film is so intense and captivating, I enjoyed it loads.
