| Film ThreatPhil HallImpressive film adaptation of Julian Mitchell's award-winning play. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisOne of those sad affairs that commits exactly the sorts of errors that the filmmakers pretend to indict in wider society. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyElegantly shot, this fictionalized version of the British gay spy Guy Burgess, is intelligent but not entirely satisfying; even so, the young Rupert Everett and Colin Firth give splendid performances. |
| PatheosEve Tushnet[The] moral would be trite if it didn't go unspoken; it becomes poignant because it's adamantly denied. |
| User ReviewPaul DWatched this for the first time in the late 80's, and re-discovered it on Netflix this weekend. Loved it- again. |
| User ReviewDeborah SGreat dialogue, boys snogging and Colin Firth. There was a period when I literally watched this every day. |
| User ReviewCarol HI saw this in 1984 whilst at an all boys boarding school - it was the 1st time I realised that I was not the only person that liked other men. Fabulous acting and so resonant for me (apart from being a communist lol) |
| User ReviewKimmyI've watched this ... MANY times! Rupert Everett and Cary Elwes are so adorable! |
