Li Ting and Mark seem like the perfect couple: young professionals sharing a cozy Beijing apartment, passionate nights, and a beloved dog. But beneath the surface, a strange obsession gnaws at Li Ting. He can't bring himself to kiss Mark with tongue, he dives into the trash to retrieve used dental floss, and his eyes glaze over during intimacy. The film reveals his secret fetish for teeth and floss, a fixation that alienates him from Mark and drives a wedge between them. As Mark grows frustrated and Li Ting retreats deeper into his compulsion, 'Floss' becomes an unsettling, artful exploration of the shame, loneliness, and invisible barriers that can exist even in the most intimate relationships.

I get that it's supposed to be artistic, but 15 minutes of random close-ups of teeth and floss with zero dialogue or explanation just left me baffled. The dentist scene goes nowhere, and the ending is abrupt. The idea is interesting, but the execution is a mess. Honestly felt like a waste of time.

Visually, this short is a feast. The moody lighting, the obsessive close-ups on mouths and floss, the way the camera frames the characters' isolation—all of it is incredibly deliberate and effective. I can see why many hate it, but for me, the cinematography alone made it worth watching. It's a bold, uncomfortable art piece.

This film is a raw, unflinching look at the loneliness of an unspoken fetish and the walls it builds in a relationship. It doesn't shame Li Ting; instead, it forces us to sit with the discomfort of desire that can't be voiced. The lack of easy answers is exactly the point. A powerful, necessary queer short that challenges how we think about intimacy and secrecy.

I came for a cute BL romance and got... this. There’s zero sweetness, zero connection. Mark is so loving and Li Ting is completely detached. The floss thing is just gross, not romantic. I felt bad for Mark the whole time. Definitely not what I'm looking for when I want to watch two guys fall in love.
