Jack, an Alaskan ex patriot, returns to his Fairbanks home following the death of his wife. He is full of anger, guilt and depression. His reclusive lifestyle is challenged when he meets a graduate student who is investigating the affects of the mining operations on a local water source. The film was shot on location in Fairbanks. The cinematography is beautiful and genuine. There is nothing fake or stereotypical about the portrayal of the subarctic summer and lifestyle. Filmed during in mid-June during the longest day of the year, the cinematographer and the director make excellent use of the midnight sun and the seasonal beauty unique to this part of the world. For this Fairbanksan, it was refreshing to see a film where Interior Alaska is portrayed with such integrity. Daniel Ponickly, who stars as Jack delivers a good performance as the widower who is lost in his grief. Ponickly also wrote the screenplay. This is the second full length feature film for director Zoe Quist. Her first film, Raw Cut, a thriller was also filmed in a panoramic environment -Dubois, WY- she made excellent use of the natural beauty of the environment. Through these two different stories, Quist proved her directing talent and ability. Newcomer Carrie Baker, and veteran Mischa Barton give very good performances. I would have liked to see more of Barton. Syd Wilder, is very convincing as the waitress with a heart of gold and a body for sin as are very convincing in their bad boy roles Jonathan Bennett and Levi Ben-Israel. Billy Zane is well cast as a UAF School of Geophysics professor, Toly Ramirez wrote the score for Mining for Ruby, as he did the haunting music for Raw Cut. The length of the film is 95 minutes and this writer found them to be a very enjoyable way to rediscover his home town.
作为主角的Noah的剧情线居然是依附在作为配角的Howie的剧情线上，前者远没有后者来得精彩，总的来说就是肤浅的同志电影，特色就是主要角色都是亚裔，无聊时可以看看打发时间
带着傲慢与偏见的mindset看真的会让人笑疯
《火烧岛》，拍把一群同性恋放到一个岛上去，台词就跟不上了，噼里啪啦。
不过整个叙事过程中确实重点和角度出了问题，Noah的旁白贯穿始终，又反复在自己和Howie之间横跳，情感力度始终有点打不到人，略微可惜了。
垃圾，太垃圾了。别尬吹了。求你们了。没看过冒险片吗？
too white too fit too bottom too cliché

虽然是很俗的剧情但是流畅节奏也轻快。不管什么刻板印象，其实之是把抓眼的类型都放在了一起。没有什么深刻的道理，就是跟着剧情里的人一起经历。在临时同居后已经很久没看这种轻松氛围的作品了
期望就是一部闹哄哄的美式网络电影，meet了这个期望就行
Naaaaah, I’ll pass it
剧情很烂，人物很扁，但觉得will好帅，我是不是坏掉了，草
以为更多聚焦的是各种大场景，群像……事实上还是主角团的爱情故事……
大厂还是没能沉下心来去拍一部同志爱情喜剧，拍得是肤浅且老套。都2022年了，当大厂拍爱情喜剧时，尽管是同志题材，依然还是那些沿用了几十年的常规套路，且也没拍出真挚动人的感觉，只让人觉得无聊。至于《傲慢与偏见》现代同志版这个创意，想法也ok，也拍出了傲慢和偏见，却没拍出内核，傲慢与偏见的内因是什么？无从探究，只有皮相。大厂无心去琢磨同志群体真实的困境与梦幻，只是为了欢乐而欢乐，为了抒情而抒情，像是程序里设定好的，几分几秒该做什么就给你什么，缺少了故事内部的强大驱动力，自然也就打动不了人。
Gay版“傲慢与偏见”，莫名带入了身边的朋友，还挺带感。
i just dont understand
《Looking》姐妹篇的风格，同性的真情实感细腻呈现，杨伯文表现很不错，悲喜交加。不相信爱情的我嗑的也很爽.
和看傲慢与偏见的时候一样 翻了好几个白眼 we don’t need a white guy to save us
糖水片。但是gay圈的鄙视链还是很真实的hhhh。
“小鸡电影”的新子集“亚基电影”？虽然故事有点太老套，但超强的喜剧人演员班底加上戛纳提名导演的功力让人可以暂时忽略那些缺点，开开心心地看一部还是挺搞笑的浪漫电影。
知道是小妞，知道是《傲慢与偏见》的内核，但还是被那么雷同的人设和情节震惊了……有点太无聊了。
