I like this movie a lot. Not only is it well scripted, directed, and cast, but it is also a milestone in LGBT cinematic history. I remember when I was a teen and it was on television one Friday night. My mother sped to the TV set and turned it off. "You are not watching that," she stated angrily to me and my siblings. Since then I have watched it twice. If I had a gay son I would actually sit him down and ask him to watch it. Recommended.
