Movie Reviews of Parting Glances
Movie Review: Best Movie of the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars
This little movie is probably still my favorite of all time. As a gay man coming out during the 80's, I remember watching this late one night on Cinemax and amazed at how uplifting and positive it was. It was the first film I ever saw that showed gay men as leading 'normal' lives, and not closeted, or evil. Finally, something I identified with. I still think to this day all straight people should watch this film, and then sometimes I think it's too personal to share with anyone. I guess that's why I have waited so long to write this, it's that great to me.Movie Review: an original favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this back in the eighties and instantly thought it was great. At the time I was finally a good gay film with an actual story instead of some low budget film festival travesty. Also the first time to see Steve Buscemi, Kathy Kinney (Mimi from Drew Carey Show) and that guy John(?) Bolger who went on to play Philip Spaulding for a short while on Guiding Light and then I think he went on to Bold and Beautiful. Still it's a great film worth getting. Movie Review: The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fortunately I saw this film only after I had seen Long Time Companion. I say "fortunately" since at the time I felt, and still do, that Long Time Companion sort of white washed the subject -- perhaps because the writer and producer wanted it to appeal to a more mixed audience and perhaps because, at the time, they wanted to get it shown on PBS.
Then I saw Parting Glances and was wowed by it. It was brilliant!
Sadly, however, as far as I know it never really gained the following and, more importantly, the recognition it deserved. Seems to me the plaudits that all went to LTC should have gone to Parting Glances.
Movie Review: Parting Glances
Summary: 4 Stars
A film now dated, but for the year (1985)was a bold subject and a bit far-fetched. But, it started to get the message across of the spreading of H.I.V. An enjoyable film nicely handled.Movie Review: Parting Glances
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent film, a piece of pop culture making it history. The film effectively weaves vignettes of past, present and future attitudes regarding homosexuality into a cohesive docu-drama snapshot of where we have been, where we were(in the early 1980's) and where we hoped to be. This was the first time I saw Steve Buscemi and have enjoyed his charaters ever since. Kathy Kinney is great as well. I wish there were more appearances in later works by Adam Nathan, Richard Ganoung and John Bolger. This is a great film for those who want to experience a great bit of nostalgia.
