Bad Buddy Butt

About This Movie

Bad Buddy Butt is a gritty exploration of identity and desire set against the backdrop of a corrupt police force. The film dives into a raw narrative, with Hiro and Mamoru's secret love playing out amidst crime and danger. The pacing is unsteady at times but lends itself to the tension that builds as they navigate their realities. Kageyama's character injects a megalomaniacal edge that amplifies the sense of dread. The performances are earnest, especially from Mamoru, whose longing feels palpable. Practical effects are minimal but effective, creating a visceral atmosphere that enhances the story's darker themes. It’s a unique take on LGBTQ+ narratives, not often seen in mainstream cinema.
