Indie – Drama
4.5 stars
Beautifully done. Colin Firth stars as a gay man in 1963 LA privately mourning the tragic loss of his longtime life partner (Matthew Goode – Match Point, Leap Year). Julianne Moore co-stars as his longtime friend and neighbor. Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy) plays one of Firth’s more insightful students. This movie is artfully filmed, with long, lingering extreme close-ups of eyes, lips, and the occasional male torsos as seen through Firth’s eyes. Filmed with much sensitivity and also a good eclectic soundtrack, I think this film is deserving of several award nominations.
