Although it barely registered as a blip on the indie-film radar, Particles of Truth should find an appreciative audience on DVD. After a marginal theatrical release and TV showings on the Sundance Channel, Jennifer Elster's assured debut as a writer-director will be remembered long after most indie-films fade into obscurity. It's one of those self-indulgent, angst-ridden, hyper-neurotic New York stories that seem to be a staple among first-time filmmakers (Elster was a 27-year-old Manhattan fashion stylist when she began writing her screenplay in 2001), but Elster--who also stars as Lilli Black, an insecure artist on the eve of her first gallery show--hits all the right notes in her anguished and all-too-human tale of love, loss, and the abject fear of failure. The movie encompasses a complex array of engaging emotions, focusing on Lilli's unlikely but life-affirming romance with Morrison (played by Gale Harold from the acclaimed Showtime series Queer as Folk), a reclusive writer with obsessive-compulsive disorder. They've both got parental issues (her estranged drug-addict father is dying of AIDS; his parents are suffering through health and financial crises), and Elster does a fine job of developing several other characters who complicate the film's turbulent emotional landscape, and her cast (including herself) is uniformly good. Elster's memorable characters express a broad spectrum of human dysfunction, but their stories are told with appealing humor, refreshing candor and compassionate sincerity. Particles of Truth is ripe for discovery as an overlooked gem that deserves to be seen. --Jeff Shannon |

Great Gale Harold Film by Paola L. Maria-mateo (Imagination town, AK)  5 Stars
November 24, 2009
This is a must watch film for any Gale Harold film.
I didn't really care for Jennifer Elster's character, but every scene they had together were very good.

Not a particle of amusement by F. Gonzalez-Soldevilla (Miami, FL)  1 Stars
August 04, 2009
Truthfully, I kept hoping there would be a turning point. It was definitely not an amusing film. Other than watching the actors perform in isolated vignettes as one would watch a Thespian college classroom exercise, the film had nothing to acclaim. The editing was not stellar. Good try by Mr. Harold, but nothing else.

surprising indie movie by Elke Kriebel (Germany) 5 Stars
May 29, 2009
After seeing trailers of this movie I was interested in it. Jennifer Elster and Gale Harold are portraiing two broken characters who are loaded with many problems due to their family background. This movie shows their collision and how they try to overcome their phobias and fears, Jennifer as Lilly, an artist who fears to fail with everything she does and Gale as Morrison, who drives around in his car and spots people to write about them, who tries to manage his germ-phobia, scrubbing his face till excess with soap ( best scenes with a showercap on ;-)) ). In flashbacks we learn about Lilly's past and present and learn that her father is dying of AIDS, worst she could tell Morrison to whom she fell in love. How these two characters get over their fears and phobias it's well placed in this wonderful indie movie. Watch it you'll like it!

Awesome Gale Harold by Himx (Prague, Czech Republic) 5 Stars
May 09, 2008
As much of his fans, I know Gale Harold from Queer as Folk serie, but this movie is so different. Gale shows us, that he is much more then only Brian Kinney (But I love Brian and Justin of course). All his film are great, he is really very good actor. Shame is, that I have All his films from Amazon. I'm frome Europe, Czech Republic, and nobody here knows him. So many good films I can't buy at home so THX for Amazon. And again, for all Gale's fans: You must see this film is awesome and sweet.

Gale Harold is a great actor! by A. Quirs (CR)  4 Stars
March 27, 2008
I became a fan of Gale Harold because of his role as Brian Kinney in the Showtime series "Queer as Folk." In "Particles of Truth", he gives a pretty good performance. The movie is good, though the pace feels a bit slow at times. If you are a fan of Gale and want to see him in something totally different, then check out Particles of Truth.
