Overuse of drugs particularly in a gay film very often disgusts me for I find no reason why it always has to be a part of it when it is very clear that without its presence, the story would remain intact. But in CIRCUIT, it is definitely a must -- its rampant use of drugs just makes it more realistic and vivid.
To my belief, this is one of the best gay features ever filmed. It’s powerful and moving. Its convincing and realistic depiction is such an experience that one does not need to see the real thing. And it made me realize that some people are into it because it is one escape from the world of homophobia and sarcasm.
