Movie Reviews of Torch Song Trilogy
Movie Review: Warm and Funny and Heartfelt
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave this 5 stars based on its original release date. Yes, it is a bit dated now, but it really does not hurt the film if you look at it as a snapshot of the time. Fierstein is just wonderful. I dare you to not love Arnold by the end of this movie. He is warm, funny, sentimental, loyal, and kind - and still not sappy; an oddball hero that you can't stop hoping for. (ugh- preoposition). Broderick is charming and romantic as the knight in shining armor. Kerwin is heartbreaking and has some beautiful scenes to work with here. Bancroft is a force-of-nature and while she is sometimes over-the-top, she still remains very human. A comedy, semi-period piece, love story about family,blood or otherwise, and the things that bring us together and ultimately hold us together. Quite wonderful actually.Movie Review: Growing Up with Torch Song...
Summary: 5 Stars
In a small, damp-ish, basement theater on Sheridan Square (West Village, New York, N.Y.), I came into contact with Harvey and Torch Song for the first time. The story has transended many media changes and has come through with flying colors (all represented in the Gay Flag).
Many a Gay man has used Torch Song as their Primer for a basic life's plan. Many have curled into comfortable positions to look back upon their own experiences, their lifes and their loves. I feel sorry for the "Young Ones" of today because they will never know the excitement(s), the pleasures and sometimes the bittersweet taste of life that many of us have been lucky enough to live in real life.
Thanks for the memories, Harvey. What would we have done without you and Torch Song Trilogy.
Movie Review: The only movie I have ever given 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this movie as a most usually high star. The Torch Song Trilogy has done something that no other movie producer has dared to do (I will leave it to you to identify what that is). The torch song trilogy has blended wisdom and humor in a comical theatrical version of the life of drag queen, who is more than what she appears to be on stage. It identifies with what most homosexuals yearn for and the strength it takes to get it. This movie is inspirational, comical, sad, and dramatic. There is no other movie of its kind, and no other movie compares. The movie identifies that love can overcome all- and that if there is one thing homosexuals want, it is acceptance, and if you can not do that then get out. This is a must have. The ONLY five star movie I have ever watched.Movie Review: The best gay film of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
Every person that I turn on to this movie absolutely loves it and eventually adds it to their dvd collections as a result. Even after watching TST many, many times (and believe it or not, it is playing now!) I still believe it is the very best gay themed movie of all time..and I have seen them all...Superb acting, laugh-out-loud funny and very touching...Bancroft and Fierstein shine! If you are straight (or gay in some cases) and can't stand gay people, don't even bother renting or buying this film. But, regardless of your sexual orientation, if you are a mature, openminded person, and respect all people for who and what they are, you will enjoy it.
Get it. You'll love it!
Movie Review: Torch Song Trilogy (1988)
Summary: 5 Stars
Torch Song Trilogy was one of the movie I wanted to absolutely see when I was a teenager, but I wasn't able to see on the screen. I videotaped it one late night, and I still have that tape. It's for sure a romance, between two men, but also between a man and his mother, and yes, also between a parent and a son. It was probably the first movie I see where a gay character was searchig for a family, a partner and a son. It was a movie that gave me an insight on a life that in Italy at that time was impossible even to conceive. I strongly recommend this movie, but I have also to warn you, it's one of the saddest movie I have ever seen, and still a source of tears for me.
