This film is about the lives of two gay commercial sex workers, who fell for each other in adverse circumstances.
I must say that this film rose above my expectations. From the hand-held camera and the non lavish sets, I thought it would be a mediocre film that serves little purpose. Instead, "Good Boys" is a raw and brutal film that examines the harsh lives of commercial sex workers. The plot is engaging and authentic. The two leading characters are heartfelt and genuine, and I feel for them very much. Everything in the film, from the living conditions, background of the people and the tragic events that happen, are so real. It particularly pains me to see Tal getting maltreated as if the commercial sex workers were not human beings. To think that it could be happening somewhere to someone this very minute is particularly saddening.
This film is capable of evoking emotions, which is unfortunately a rare occurrence in a gay film.
