Three words for this effort: Coulda, woulda and shouda. This had so much potential and the director (?) blew it. A movie must tell a story. This just wandered until it ran out of gas. Too bad.

As other user reviews have pointed out, this story went nowhere. Gay films constantly focus on how hard it is coming to terms with your sexuality. The only difference here is that the character doesn't come to terms with his sexuality. He doesn't come to terms with anything. So why bother watch this film? Complete waste of time.

This is a nice film if you like staring at a naked Brad Renfro lookalike for 98 minutes, but this LGBT film had nothing more. As a writer (with an award winning LGBT screenplay to my credit) it frustrates me when I see characters that are just there with no purpose, or plot twists that go nowhere.We see one of Frankie's friends, as an example, not take part in the swimming at the beach. He sits and watches. When they mug the gay man for his weed, he walks away and doesn't participate. Why? Is he gay and has feelings for Frankie? The gay man they're mugging?What happens to the gay man they mugged? Anyone get arrested? Frankie's mom sits at his computer. She asks later if he wants to discuss anything. Does she know and is coaxing him into coming out? Too many questions unanswered. It's as if they ran out of money and had to stop production at this point.So much confusion. I'm even more confused how this film won at Sundance and the producers who optioned my script, about a gay professional baseball player, couldn't even get funding.

There isn't much in the way of development, the movie pretty much ends where it started. If you're looking for something that hits all the genre tropes and makes you believe in love at the end of it, this movie isn't for you. With no direction for the plot or characters, the movie sort of just wanders until it ends.Beach Rats isn't going to transcend some personal plight and become relatable for a large number of people. It is very much for a niche audience who can relate to the struggle of a gay, confused, and aimless young man.
