Like You Mean It

Feature Film

When Mark and Jonah's best friends break up and Mark's father passes away, cracks begin to show between the two. While Jonah's feelings for Mark continue to grow stronger, Mark isn't sure how he feels anymore. Nevertheless, they are determined to get back on track and save their relationship.

The last gasps of a romantic relationship between two very different men are intimately and delicately charted in the beautifully immersive, if decidedly somber, "Like You Mean It." Writer, director and star Philipp Karner has crafted a deeply felt semi-autobiographical chamber piece whose tempo, sensibility and visual style evoke classic European art house dramas as well as such fine gay-themed character studies as Ira Sachs' "Keep the Lights On" and Andrew Haigh's "Weekend."
