Info

Back Soon is a story of love, loss, identity and hope. It follows the relationship between aspiring actor Logan Foster and reformed drug dealer Gil Ramirez, two men who find themselves inexplicably drawn together despite their disparate backgrounds, and the fact that they both regarded themselves as straight. However, their bond is soon threatened by Gil's mysterious past and a startling revelation about the true nature of their connection. Neither man is prepared for this, nor the impact it will have on their lives.

Back Soon Audience Reviews

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
edwarddotcastro This was so awful, I would have rated it 0.5 out of 10 if that scale existed. It was painful going beyond 30 minutes...It started off slow, and never picked up and the extremely poor acting really didn't help! It really isn't worth your Sunday afternoon. At times there were awkward moments and poor direction.The storyline was so paranormally unrealistic. I wanted to believe, but I couldn't. Weak all the way around. I wanted to believe in the characters, but I did not feel a genuine love anywhere in this movie. Even though I understood the plot, nothing made sense to me. The ending was much like the rest of the film, sketchy and poorly written. I am just sorry I wasted 45 minutes of my life watching this crap...worse is the realization that it actually won awards (or so they say)
rrobison-565-711600 After reading the reviews for this movie, I was really hesitant to watch. Once again I proved to myself, sometimes you just have to see/do some things for yourself.First off, is the writing, directing and acting as bad as some have said? No it's not - nor is it Oscar-worthy either. You must remember that this is an indie film with a limited budget so the director doesn't have 30-40 takes each scene to find the hidden gem. Some scenes are better than others, no doubt. But the sum of this movie is definitely better than a few of its parts.There were several references to the movie's "supernatural tendencies" and "unbelievability". I found the story really interesting and fresh. If you're looking for the typical gay indie film that focuses on random hookups and erotic sex scenes, yeah you're going to be disappointed to actually find a STORY here that you need to follow. I wonder if Gil were a woman, would the other reviews have been so pointed? All in all, good effort and interesting story. I'd recommend it.
Daniel Alderman This was a first for me. A movie that was about equally good as it was horrendous. The story of two guys who find themselves in love. It's nice. The two actors have really great chemistry, which is pretty rare when you get straight guys playing gay roles. (I just have to assume both actors were straight, because they almost always are in this type of movie.) The story is interesting and wants so badly to be heartwarming, but then the writers and actors take turns messing it up. The two main actors are pretty good. The supporting cast, specifically the gay best friend (Bret Wolfe) and the wife's former working buddy (Kelly Keaton) were not so great. Wolfe took the gay stereotype into the offensive and Keaton just didn't play emotion well at all. The bad acting by those two, as well as by the prostitutes and the wife of the dead wife's brother (Bethany Dotson) lifted me entirely out of the flow of the film. I can't necessarily blame the actors. It looks like the film was very poorly directed in some spots and very well directed in others. The writing followed the same some bad/some good path. The ending was a let down and couldn't have been more predictable if it had been typed on the box. Not a great movie, not a horrible movie. I'm glad I watched it, all I can say is that I wish it'd been better.
Red-125 Back Soon (2007), written and directed by Rob Williams, is a film about two men who are surprised to find themselves attracted to each other.Windham Beacham plays Logan Foster, a man whose wife has recently died in an auto accident. Matthew Montgomery is Gil Ramirez, a young man with a past. Ramirez is drawn to Foster's house, which is for sale. Ironically, Foster's dead wife, Adrianne (played by Maggie Ellertson), was a real estate broker, and would have probably managed the sale of this property had the tragedy not occurred.Logan and Gil find themselves physically and emotionally attracted to each other. Because neither is gay, this attraction surprises and confuses them. So far so good.At this point, the movie took off into the realm of mysticism and the supernatural, and it was at this point that--for me--it lost its bearings and its power to instruct or entertain. "Brokeback Mountain" had a similar plot, and that film stayed true to its basic premise. Some things in life don't make perfect sense--they happen and we don't know why. The writer-director of "Back Soon" apparently thought that the viewers of the movie couldn't handle this kind of uncertainty, so he invented a plot line that explained the situation. People who make movies make choices, and I think this choice was not a good one.This film will work on DVD, should you choose to see it. It was shown at ImageOut, the Rochester Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival. We saw six films at the festival. Three of them were very good, and two were excellent. "Back Soon" was the weak link.
