    One of the first gay movies I ever saw on TV. Remember how I stayed up late with the sound down low so my parents wouldn't hear lol. Well acted from what I can remember.

    Well, this came on later at night/early morning. As a gay man, most would think I would love movies about gay characters, but I'm really picky when it comes to gay-oriented films. This flick has an amazing storyline that really transcends the typical revelation that takes place here. In my opinion, what makes this film work is the focus on Zack's emotions and the marriage. Very few movies make me cry - this flick, however, had me crying a river. There really is so much love demonstrated between Claire and Zack - I truly felt their pain.

    This movie addresses a very real problem for many closeted gay men and their families - it was well done and seemes very progressive for when it was made.

    Very good film about a topic that was considered taboo when the film came out. A real piece of groundbreaking cinema.

    Populated with intelligent, sympathetic, even kind of saintly characters stuck in a lame old mess. Gleams with 80s cheese, but the aesthetic serves the sincere melodrama well.

    One of the first "mainstream" films that deals with a man's coming to realize his true sexual orientation. Unlike Brokeback Mountain, this has a "Hollywood ending" in that most characters live "happily ever after." Thanks to Flixter (Hannah) for adding this ground breaking film within 1 day of my request!
