I caught an early screening of this film in early November, and while I absolutely loved the film, the scene in club Quo (red-tinged, Bacchanalian gay club) left me baffled. Like the reviewer stated, there isn't any shred of (SPOILER) homosexuality shown throughout the film to suggest Brendan would willingly let a man go down on him. I completely understand he's going on a sex binge & must feed his addiction, but to (SPOILER) get turned down from a straight bar, and immediately go in the opposite direction towards an all male club didn't sit well with me. Actually that scene bothered me even a couple days after watching the film, and no it has anything to do with how graphic that scene is, and it is VERY graphic, but it just felt like out of place, and completely out of character for Brendan. /Spoiler

Also, the restaurant scene made my heart flutter. Beautifully captured scene.
