User review:

I was blown away by this film.

So many of the characters reminded me of people I grew up with during my middle / high school years.. the drugs and all.

There is nothing “pretty” or “whitewashed” about this film, It presents the audience with an accurate look into the lives of gay street kids & their lives.

The way they live, love, and die…

This is the kind of film I was truly surprised that a major chain like Blockbuster would carry.

Wheither you’re gay bi or straight, drug user, or straight-edger, there is something everyone can learn from SUGAR.
