IWYL - Andrew Haigh, director of WEEKEND

Intimate, sexy and unflinchingly honest, I Want Your Love is a bold film with rare insight into the uncensored lives of a generation of gay men

I Want Your Love -John Cameron Mitchell

A filmmaker of refreshing honesty, Travis Mathews is a new voice giving queer cinema a much needed injection of emotional intimacy.

In Their Room - Berlin

If porn is asocial, this is fully social erotica for libidos that are patient and discerning.

Intimate Awkwardness

Brown Bunny, Shortbus, every single Lars von Trier film. Yes, unsimulated sex has been an art-flick staple for decades, but never has it been captured with as much intimate awkwardness as in I Want Your Love.

In Their Room -Ira Sachs

"In Their Room is a beautifully shot, deeply intimate, voyeuristically tantalizing, view inside the minds, and bedrooms, of young gay men in San Francisco. Travis Mathews has a kind and empathetic eye as a filmmaker, and he’s just the kind of new voice we need to tell our stories."

Making Love: The Story of a Sweet, Dirty Movie

"I Want Your Love bristles with eroticism and emotional honesty. Jesse Metzger and Brenden Gregory are not typical porn stars. They’re scruffy, tattooed indie guys, charming and occasionally awkward. The sex is interrupted by laughter, bouts of wrestling, and subtle gestures of negotiation. Certainty never factors into the scene. Seemingly, there is nothing coordinated or choreographed about their actions. "

MUD interviews U.S. filmmaker Travis Mathews

"Mathews is pushing the bar even further by blurring the lines between narrative and pornographic language."

In the Works: Gay Intimacy

"I Want Your Love seems like a natural progression, adding a fictional component while building on the eroticism and playfulness, the intimacy and directness, of Mathews’ previous work.”
