The delicate tone of Ira Sachs's meditation on the brief but indelible relationship between two young men belies the power of its purpose and the violent inevitability of its conclusion. A Mississippi Delta romance blossoms between two ill-matched young men: Lincoln (Shayne Gray), an affluent white teenager, and John (Thang Chan), a working-class émigré born to a Vietnamese mother and an American G.I. In his exploration of the politics of class, sexuality, and racial difference, Sachs creates a film of great depth and anguished complexity, raw intensity and ephemeral beauty.
