Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Jan 5, 2017
A potentially precious and maudlin conceit gets an absorbing and intriguing treatment in "Retake," an impressive road drama about a middle-aged gay man who hires a young hustler to join him on a life-changing ride to the Grand Canyon. Go to Full Review
Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Sep 15, 2019
Nick Corporon delivers a promising feature film debut in Retake, an inspired road trip drama with enough quirks and twists to keep audiences enthralled until the credit roll. Go to Full Review
Brandon Judell HuffPost Jan 16, 2017
A superb film for depressives seeking images of themselves on-screen . . . an interesting addition to the representation of male prostitution in film, one that makes Midnight Cowboy seem like a Marx Brothers offering. Go to Full Review

Leia S Feb 4, 2018 This movie is mostly good. Could have been better. There's a little bit of 'crazy' happening here. A hooker and a john go on a road trip. Makes for a good premise. There's a little Pretty Woman mixed with some Groundhog Day mixed with some American Psycho. There's so much going on mentally and emotionally but just as you start getting the feelz ,it all gets cut short or stunted so that you can't really feel too much for either of these guys. All in all, not a bad flick. Would make a great "What Not To Do" training video, though, if you're planning on going into the hustler business. See more
Finn M Jan 29, 2017 Many years ago a well-acted "alternative lifetstyle" movie with a great score, called Making Love, suffered from the bias of the day, as mainstream audiences were not only sparse, but in far too great a number walked out of the theater with a look of "yuk" or an "ewwww" when the scenes showed gay intimacy or suggestions of gay sex. The subject matter and delicately tastefully presented gay intimacy in this movie, also quite well-acted and executed, are likely to hold back its commercial success. Perhaps audiences wont walk out in this politically correct day and age, at least in big cities where it might be shown, but I suspect the public at large is still not quite fully ready for such topics or scenes. I dearly hope I am wrong, because RETAKE is so well paced and acted and filmed and presented in just a "good movie" sense, it would be a shame to miss it for any reason at all. See more
Hermione S Jan 22, 2017 Contrived was how I was feeling about this film while I was watching then about midway through I started caring about the characters and their relationship or lack therefore. And by the end I was involved and really affected by it. See more
Kylo R Jan 10, 2017 Brilliantly acted - erotically charged despair with tinges of hope. Lurve Tuc Watkins.
