Mark (Craig Chester), the head writer who is mourning the loss of his lover to AIDS, spends the time he has not mourning worrying about whether he'll get a promotion to producer of the show after his boss leaves. In his way is the smarmy Paula (Lucy Gutteridge), who also is hoping for the promotion. In the meantime, Mark is flirting with male office worker Bill (Alexis Arquette), even though his old college friend Jeremy (Carlton Wilborn) is warning against Mark's flirtation -- for reasons of his own. In the midst of all this, it's no wonder that the office secretary Leslie (Illeana Douglas) has sworn off men altogether. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Despite the rich emotional and comic possibilities, Grief is dull (the dialogue is strained)and ultra-modest, which could be a function of its miniscule budget and/or lack of experience of its director, Richard Glatzer.

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
not worth watching for much beyond its novelty value
