"Seeing Kate again felt as real as anything else in his life, even as he wondered if it really happened to him. He spent many days and evenings wandering the forests and fields of the region, looking for any sign of her. Though he found none, he spent the rest of his days waiting, so he would be there if she ever came back."

"There were once passageways to the old world; strange trails, hidden paths. You'd turn a corner and suddenly find yourself face-to-face with the great mystery, the foundation of all things. And even though that old world is gone now, even though it's been rolled up like a scroll and put somewhere, you can still feel the echo of it."

"Before the dawn of history, ever since the first man discovered his soul, he has struggled against the forces that sought to enslave him. He saw the awful power of nature arrayed against him—the evil eye of the lightning, the terrifying voice of the thunder, the shrieking, wind-filled darkness enslaving his mind with shackles of fear. Fear bred superstition, blinding his reason. He was ridden by a host of devil gods. Human dignity perished on the altar of idolatry. And tyranny arose, grinding the human spirit beneath the conqueror's heel. But deep in man's heart still burned the unquenchable will for freedom. When this divine spark flames in the soul of some mortal—whether priest or soldier, artist or patriot, lover or statesman—his deeds have changed the course of human events and his name survives the ages. In the village of Zorah, in the land of Dan, 1,000 years before the birth of Christ, lived such a man. In him, the elements had fused greatness and weakness, strength and folly. But with these, was a bold dream—liberty for his nation. The man's name was Samson. For 40 years, the Philistines had held his people in bondage."

"[to Samson] Come with me to Egypt. We'll not be Danite and Philistine there, only Samson and Delilah. In the Valley of the Nile, the air will be sweet with myrrh, and only the flight of the ibis will darken the sky. Will you come with me?"

"Listen up, gentlemen. This one isn't gonna be any easier. We have a tough opponent out there tonight. Now we know this team's gonna play tough, and we know we're gonna face some adversity. You get pushed around, you get back up. You brush yourself off and say "What's next?" Tonight, you do that, and I promise you we're gonna have a good game. Now, I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. But it's gonna be good."

"Throughout our lives, we all face many different decisions. During those moments, we hope to find a path to guide us toward a much brighter, happier, and more fulfilling direction. The most important one is, without a doubt, choosing between the life you want and the one that society constructed for you. It’s already hard enough for straight people (“Your biological clock is ticking”, “When are we going to hear those wedding bells”), but for LGBTQ+ people, it’s even more complicated. If they finally dare to step into the spotlight and reject the heteronormative society, they’re met with a lot of prejudice, fear, shame and uncertainty. And so probably also Dakota Riley, “Riley” for the friends, in Riley, the latest movie by writer/director Benjamin Howard (Deviant)."

"High school football star Dakota Riley (Jake Holley, adroitly handling a difficult role) lashes out at anyone who suggests or even jokes about his being gay. Truth is, he is buried deep in the closet in a macho world and it’s not only eating him up alive but destroying relationships. Writer/director Benjamin Howard’s debut feels like you’re watching a lived experience, and that’s because it is based partly on his life. It is that rawness and realness that gives “Riley” its extra edge, making it a more formidable queer drama about how repression in a hyper-masculine setting can strangle and suffocate someone until they come up for air."

"Dakota Riley (Jake Holley, looking like a hot hybrid between Jim Carrey and Tig Notaro) rides his bike to a Grindr hookup but panics when the hookup wants to go faster and further than he planned in Benjamin Howard’s coming-of-age feature film, “Riley.” His Hookup (J. B. Waterman, credited as Obi-Wan Hookup) either doesn’t suspect his “date” is in high school or doesn’t care. But Riley is in his high school, and he’s crushing it. He’s on the football team and hopes to follow in his father’s cleats and go pro. His father, Carson (Rib Hillis), who is also the high school football coach (Go Eagles!), is living vicariously through his son. The dad is a former athlete who sustained a career-ending injury during his pro years. Carson claims he has no regrets, but he carries the regrets in his eyes."

"There is plenty of eye candy in “Riley,” Holley and McCalla are shirtless in the locker room, the hot tub, and Riley’s bedroom. Howard lets the camera linger over their taut physiques, and the film teeters on the edge of softcore (not that there’s anything wrong with that). There is magnificent cinematography by Michael Elias Thomas, replete with tangerine sunsets, sepia-toned close-ups, and the muted indigo of a football game at dusk. Not to mention those long, loving shots of tight torsos, perky pectorals, and succulent six packs. With football at the film’s center, however, very few pigskins are thrown. The movie is full of tropes, but it’s interesting seeing the story from the POV of the jock and not the nerd who typically falls for him. It’s a grimmer and grittier “Heartstoppers.” The dialogue is simple everyday language with a few French words peppered in from Madame Dupont (Caroline Amiguet) and Storrie’s Liam. This is a drama, and sometimes it takes itself too seriously. Storrie’s character adds a few moments of levity, but Howard’s script is grounded and realistic, reminding us that each person’s Coming Out story is different."
