PrimeMates (2010) Reviews
Can't stop thinking about it
Unbelievable film. A friend of mine watched this in a film festival in California and recommended it to me. Watching it for the first 10 minutes I was offended, then the next 20 minutes I couldn't wait to email the director/writer Rudy Luna and give him my two cents. The film seemed to be an affront to all women, married, engaged, divorced, single, but the last hour of this film completely changed my mind. Completely. The film takes place in a cigar lounge, were the audience is privy to men's private conversations, but then when one of the men claim that he knows the secret to a successful marriage he's got the other men's attention. He tells them that all men should be sleeping around because it's in their nature, it is biological and the minute they go against nature then the will be at odd with everything around them. Soon, each man tells a private story about a women in their lives. They all start to believe that procreation is the true meaning of life, and although they need not to impregnate as many women as possible, they certainly need to have sex as much as possible with as many different women that they can...just use protection. And of course younger women are the preference since they have longer reproduction life. One of them men is a hold out and when he tells his story, it blows all his friend away and even evolution cannot sort this one out. I'm really doing an injustice in my explanation, all I know is that this is one of the most powerful indies you'll see. The actors are simply amazing. The actor who play Nelix in Star Trex is so good, you will love him. See this movie if you want insight on men and why they behave the way they do...you may never see relationships the same way again.
Simply Provocative
I go to the movies to be entertained by the moving images on the silver screen. Sometimes a deep and meaningful message is communicated. I know this has occurred when the movie remains with me, I replay it over and over and the brain tries to piece together the newly presented clues to the puzzle of life. An old professor, Fr. McCann said the purpose of art is to make us think and a good friend Tom D. said the purpose is to make us emote. Primates has it all. Masterfully shot on a shoestring budget in four days, the images and sounds had me deeply emote. Honesty can be dangerous. So as we navigate this life with trial and error, attempting to work out the problems of being, the most agreed upon plan- an education, a source of income, friends/a mate/ a family, give the brain plenty to ruminate about and compel us to share it's subjective conclusions/judgments with whomever will listen. When the trials in life force us to be honest and the fear of judgment is momentarily removed in a safe environment, the personal fears, which have accumulated since birth are released from their prison and lose their grip on infinite possibilities for liberty that life holds. Liberty is questioning the plan. What more could I want from a movie? Maybe a solution to it all- IN the sequel! Primates is spectacular!! Six stars!!! > Seamus McDonagh
An Emotional Journey
Primates is one of the few films I think about again and again. It is an important and groundbreaking film. I was profoundly affected by this film. The story snared the entire audience and we were held literally on the edge of our seats. Both casting and acting were perfect. -Joe Estevez plays a guilt ridden divorcée, Will Wallace plays the womanizer who can't find his perfect match, Ethan Phillips plays the passive husband(although you'll find out that this is completely wrong!) and Leo Rossi is the smug perfect mate, who's also the antagonizer of the group- Primates is a unique twist on the "boys will be boys" morality question except that it's so much more than just that. I was swept up on an emotional journey I won't forget. Everyone should see this moving and important film. I can't wait to see another Rudy Luna film. Thanks for your talent, Lucinda Gobin
Sex, sex, and more sex
The film, Primemates, is an original bright star in a dulled sky of cinema repetition! I reviewed this film and give it 5 stars out of 5 stars. Rudy Luna, the director, proves that good cinema is about good story and great acting and CGI, blood and guts, and gratuitous sex is completely unnecessary. From the very beginning of the film, when the young hot girl walks in the cigar lounge, I was intrigued. Throughout the film I kept thinking that I knew where the plot was heading, but I was dead wrong which is very rare for a avid film reviewer. The cast, Joe Estevez, Leo Rossi, Ethan Phillips, and Will Wallace are exceptional and I had to continually remind myself that it was scripted because they all played the roles so convincingly. It was as if I were eves dropping on their very intimate and vulnerable conversations. This film will make every man wonder and question his desires and it will validate every woman's notions of what the real meaning of commitment and love is! I love it and so will you!
The Big Cigar
It has been said that a substantial part of a filmmaker's work is achieved with the right actors. If so, writer-direction Rudy Luna has considerably lightened his load in this perfectly cast film. In PrimeMates (2010) four friends relax in a cigar lounge. The topic of discussion seems inevitably to turn to that of sex and desire. Ray (Leo Rossi) argues that infidelity is simply an "evolutionary" phenomenon, one that has actually strengthened his marriage. Devoted to his wife, Clint (Ethan Phillips) challenges Ray's carefully constructed, intellectual argument. Joe (Joe Estevez) seems less remorseful about his divorce than entranced by the passionate affair which brought it about. And Jim (Will Wallace), the self-aggrandizing womanizer (the "slut") of the group, serves as foil to what seems the relatively diffident, Prufrock-like, Clint. The machismo and jousting, locker-room camaraderie suggest a certain shallowness and superficiality in the male menagerie. But as Oscar Wilde reminded us, "the truth is seldom plain and never simple." When Ray promises to reveal a secret if the others will respond in kind the story becomes at once both more disturbing and more meaningful. A conversational movie, even one punctuated with the occasional flashback, is a risky venture. On the other hand, when that risk pays off it can become that most valuable of films--raw and redemptive, yet believable and riveting. The casual tone progressively grows darker and more unsparing as these middle-aged men relate their own stark, once-told tales. In PrimeMates Rudy Luna's first film manages to uncover the archetype beneath the stereotype. All good stories are about trial and transformation, and the one here is no exception. The unexpected narrative turn ambushes both audience and characters in a poignant, haunting depiction of the depth and integrity of authentic relationship. Bob
