Ok, yes, there is a kiss. It's a loooong beautiful tender emotional kiss too! :-*

I had only read John's review, having skipped over the others before viewing.
While I liked it, I didn't love it.
I have no problem with slow, paced films. However, this one was too stylized and studied for me to emotionally connect with it. It seemed like it would have made a good short film, rather than a feature-length film. It seemed to be an outline of a film. I guess I was left wanting more.
The actors were attractive, the constant close-ups were effective, but the expressions didn't really change. I don't know if they were purposely holding back, but, to me, there wasn't enough development. The stiff dialogue didn't help.
A very sincere effort, that was lacking for me. The best line, when Andrea talks about a former girlfriend, realizing that "she didn't have a dick" made me laugh, but, sadly, summed up the film for me. There just wasn't enough there there.

Aside: the "typing" of emails at the beginning made me think of none other than "Doogie Houser".

I'm glad you saw the film, Paul. If nothing else, it supports gay cinema!
(My TV and film knowledge could be lacking--when something looks very fresh to me, it might be old hat to the cognoscenti. Believe it or not, I have never seen 'Doogie Houser'--oops! Oh, well. I do know the actor Neil Patrick Harris is, of course.)
Artiste: the kissing scene is at near the end:
