User review:
“Sebastian” is a strange movie as the concept about a queer writer living a double life as a sex worker is pretty bizarre, yet, an interesting concept. This movie has left me with some mixed feelings as I find the movie to have some really strong moments but some not so strong.
Finnish-British Filmmaker Mikko Makela direction and writing for this story is pretty good as Makela’s approach on the themes and characters are strong. Queer cinema hasn’t been approached with this form of atmosphere and it was interesting to see Makela taking a new approach on queer cinema with good performances from the cast members, interesting conversations, and challenging aspects on the setting, tone, and character. The production design is good and camerawork was solid.
The dialogue is interesting as there are some really great dialogue moments but at the same time, some of the dialogue felt clunky and weird. Whether it was intentional or not, it feels a little off-putting. The characters have some investment but as the movie continues, the main character becomes a little difficult to fully connect with and it does cause the movie to feel a little of a drag.
The third act does fall apart a little as it feels unsatisfying to the climax. But despite it’s flaws, I still found myself interested to see what happens next and I am glad I saw it. As much I wasn’t very big on it, I applaud for the new take.
