"Gone, But Not Forgotten" is a low key romance of quiet charm. I predict
that it will become a staple of Queer Cinema DVD libraries,
especially for viewers with romantic souls."

"Gone, But Not Forgotten" is a heart shaped box of chocolates containing
lots of fruity soft centres and no chewy toffee.
--Sweve Magazine

'Tainted with connotations of soapy melodrama, amnesia is a plot device
screenwriters should approach with great caution. Luckily, writer/director Michael D. Akers
has a deft touch, and his shoestring-budgeted 'Gone, But Not Forgotten' gets
beyond the traditional “Who am I? Where am I?” moments
quickly to take on deeper issues of identity and relationships.'

a beautifully told gay love story about personal demons,
family acceptance, and the need to be needed.
-- Conrad Corral

...the dialog is bracingly natural, Shaun Cromwell's guitar-based score is lovely,
and there are some very strong scenes in which the actors get to
really flesh out their characters (no pun intended). It's these moments,
as well as the captivating story, that keep us glued. And win us over.

There is something about this little gem that haunts you long after watching it...
can't quite put my finger on it - maybe it's the fact that the director keeps
you on the edge of your chair at all times. Perhaps it's the fact that the story line
isn't quite as predictable as you'd like it to be. Maybe it's just an overall feeling
of love and lust that holds your interest?
Anyhow, I loved this low-budget film from start to finish.
Yes, I recommend it for your collection.

Instead of focusing on homophobia, HIV or some deeper political issue,
'Gone But Not Forgotten' is something of a throw back to a time when films were called
"motion pictures" and sentiment was not a four letter word. Without labeling this film,
it is almost as if this were a gender sexual orientation twist on the "women’s pictures"
of older Hollywood. Just imagine the characters switched around and it is easy
to see this story line working for a straight couple as well as a gay one.

One of the first straightforward gay romantic dramas
to come from the independent world.
-- Brussels Film Festival

It's a hilariously told and brilliantly filmed directing debut for Akers.
Treat yourself to this film...Beautiful men, beautiful trees!
-- Hamburg Film Festival

Gone But Not Forgotten successfully blends a serious theme with a
romantic love story. A delightfully arousing love making scene (in front of a fireplace),
and just enough plot with mystery make it a date movie with a reason to
cuddle and converse afterwards.
Grab your boyfriend and go see this movie.
If you don't have a boyfriend, beg, borrow or rent one if you have to!

This low budget indie is filled with romance,
two attractive leading men and
a romantic tale hot enough to melt even the coldest heart.
-- TLA Video

Made on a miniscule budget and shot on video, Gone But Not Forgotten
is nonetheless an engaging and romantic gay film.
It's nice to have a gay romance that goes somewhere we've never really
seen a film go before and does so in a way that is simply fun and idyllic.
-- filethirteen.com

An admirable indie, this film has much to offer aside from its two attractive leading
men. A sexy and intriguing love story, Gone But Not Forgotten is one film to not forget.
-- Austin Gay & Lesbian Int'l Film Festival

[Keven Renken, Festival Director for Tampa] rolls his eyes remembering festivals past and one too many films featuring gay men who, tortured about their sexuality, wind up sleeping with women. Renken chuckles, joking that it sometimes seems moviegoers stand a better chance of seeing straight sex than gay sex at a gay film festival. "One of my goals for this year was to try to find films that really expressed gay sexuality," says Renken, "and I think we got a few films that do that." He mentions a handful, like Bulgarian Lovers and Gone But Not Forgotten.

Gone, But Not Forgotten is a valiant effort...
a love story fit for any couple to snuggle up to...
