An irreverent and refreshing take on the queer world of sex, lust and unrequited love. Lanky, blue haired Jackson, record store employee and poet, is in love with most of the men in his life! A refreshing departure from the typical gay love story, LUSTER is a raw and darkly comic look at young punks in love.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Lively, from-the-heart script ... and terrific, natural performances that, like the film itself, are cumulatively affecting.

fresh:
Luster has a charming, skittish quality, and Lewis finds pathos and humor in his characters' often painful search for love.

rotten:
Surprisingly bland considering the outrageousness of many of the situations.

rotten:
If Mr. Lewis intends Luster as a gay romantic fantasy, the fantasy is entirely one-sided.
