Technically near perfect, as a typical Gus Van Sant movie--timing, shots, casting, actors' performances--this movie only proves that 12-step AA program works for the self-absorbed characters, whose main concern is the quality of their sexual lives (or, gay Christians). Joaquin Phoenix is marvelous but his girlfriend, talented Rooney Mara, was given such a non-expressive role that one wonders were not her participation a request from Joaquin.
