The film’s success is partly due to the quality of its actors, Bella states: Richard Harmon (“sterling performance mixes vulnerability … and desperation”); Charlie David (“charm and likability”); Sean Paul Lockhart (“effortlessly conveys tenderness and compassion”); Timo Descamps (“believable,” “forces us to hate his character’s actions”).

The review winds up:

Judas Kiss is not to be missed. It’s more than likely you’ll leave Judas Kiss appreciating a gay film that was willing to be brave and take risks to redefine an otherwise formulaic genre.
