""a very relatable relationship story, with different beats of a relationship, except in a very specific subculture that's foreign to most people.""
""doesn't feel romantic" and "basically looks like abuse,""
""In a gay leather relationship, the power dynamic is key, but so is a strong sexual element, which isn't necessarily the case in other, heterosexual BDSM relationships,""
Alexander Skarsgård stars in a film about an introverted young gay man, Colin, and Ray, a domineering leather biker who introduces him to the BDSM community. The film premiered in UK cinemas in November and opens in the United States in February. Audience reactions are sharply divided, with some viewers calling the relationship sweet and tender while others describe it as abusive. Marketing positioned the release near Valentine’s Day as sexy queer counter-programming to typical romantic fare. Observers note that gay leather relationships emphasize power dynamics and a strong sexual element, which can appear abrasive to those unfamiliar with kink.
