"Ich bin ein ganz normales Landei. Vielleicht ein bisschen schwuler als andere, aber sonst Standardausstattung." Nein, mein Lieber. Du bist viel mehr als nur ein Landei. Für viele junge Deutsche bist Du was neues. Schwulsein ist entlich OK, entlich selbstverständlich! A wonderful movie with a beautiful message. The scene where Phil first first meets Nicholas left a huge impression on me... FYI, Louis Hofmann, who portrays Phil, was only 18 at the time of shooting. Watch it, you'll see what I mean; his acting is very believable!

While watching the movie I was pretty disappointed, but afterwards I changed my mind: This is not a gay romance. This is a movie about a person being in love with another person and dealing with issues in that relationship and in the family. The fact that the romance is a homosexual one is merely a side effect. With that change of „expectation management“ I think the movie is okay.

I was not fully happy with everything in this movie, but I liked that it was a drama so that it did not end too well. Acting was fine and quite real at times. I felt with Phil but at the same time didn't understand all of his reactions. It did not feel too real at times but still, great to see an Austrian movie for once dealing with homosexuality – and quite well I might add.

I don’t know, I quite regret watching this and I’ve watched literally every gay movie out there. There’s nothing of real substance here, you know. Nothing drawing you to the movie.

**Brave and authentic**

What does cinema mean to you? To me it means emotions and stories, told with moving images, with music and with words. And, in my opinion, for cinema to be at its greatest it needs to brave and vulnerable.

Center of My World is exactly that: brave and vulnerable. And in More
