A successful young L.A. doctor and his equally successful television-producer wife find their happily-ever-after life torn assunder when he suddenly confronts his long-repressed attraction for other men. Zach and Claire live a comfortable life secure in their love for one another when Bart, a swinging L.A. novelist, walks into Zach's office and awakens unfamiliar feelings in him. In a move which leaves him wracked with guilt, Zach cancels dinner with his wife in order to go out with Bart. He is inexplicably drawn to this man who seems intent on keeping him at arms distance. Why can't Bart allow their relationship to grow? he wonders. Exasperated, he asks Bart, "Do you snore? Does anybody ever get a chance to find out?" As Zach's absences become more and more frequent, Claire's concern manifests itself in the suspicion that he is having an affair with another woman. Jilted by Bart and feeling alone for the first time in his married life, Zach resolves to tell Claire the truth about himself. Predictably, Claire is shocked that she could have known so little about the man she has loved for so many years and accuses him of deceiving her from the very start.

| New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Demme has captured both the look and the spirit of this live performance with a daring and precision that match the group's own. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisOn its own baby-step terms, and despite its moneyed vanilla-himbo vision of gay masculinity and desire, Making Love plays now as a bemusing anachronism but not an insulting or self-inflating one. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt's 88 minutes of solid, inventive music, filmed in a straightforward manner that neither deifies the performers nor encourages an illusory intimacy, but presents the musicians simply as people doing their job and enjoying it. |
| Filmcritic.comDon Willmotthas trouble conveying passion, torment, and guilt |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewThis is a three-handkerchief movie, all right, but for the nose. It stinks. |
| User ReviewC.J. AOne 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! |

| User ReviewAhmad JBeautiful love story about a married couple whose marriage is jeapordised when the husband discovers that he is attracted to other men. Michael Ontkean, Harry Hamlin and Kate Jackson all turn in excellent performances. The ending will leave you in tears. |
| User ReviewBill TMAKING LOVE is an NPR-LISTENER'S wet dream; Here in America, NPR (NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO) LOVES GAY PEOPLE and LOVES GAY-rights and GAY films and GAY Literature. MAKING LOVE is a pro-"gay movie" about a married doctor who feels repressed attraction for men and eventually starts going-out with one of his patients who eventually seduces the doctor into "going" all-out gay. MAKING LOVE is totally CRAZY but it is one of the first feature A-List films to be "pro-gay" where The Guy even ends-up "running-off" with a Gay Lover without "being punished" (some movies usually seem "pro-gay" up to a point but then the gay man is eventually brought to ruin). Probably one of the best cinematic shots I've ever seen is the last camera angle in MAKING LOVE: the ex-wife and the gay-guy are saying their good-byes and as they finish the camera pulls back to show the gay-guy driving off into the distance to the right of the frame and the ex-wife walking up her driveway and into her home and her new family to the left of the frame . . . CINEMATOGRAPHICALLY speaking that shot says it all: The ex-wife and the gay-guy's story together is complete (in the end; the ex-wife returns home and the gay-guy heads over the event-horizon [to New York City] never to be seen again). Based on THAT (aforementioned) SHOT (described above) alone, MAKING LOVE is a 100% . Speaking of NPR (National Public Radio), "they" featured a female-rap artist on one of their programs and said "they" couldn't remember when the was another female rap artist. NPR always claims its so very intelligent and knowledgeable of all subjects but when it comes to DIVERSE people and DIVERSE music-forms and politics NPR (National Public Radio) continually reveals that is full of crap. NPR says "no" previous female rap artists (actually that it "can't remember) female rap artists: What about QUEEN LATIFA, SISTER SOLUJA ROXANNE SHANTE, MC LYTE, THE REAL ROXANNE, SPYDER D, LEFT EYE (MC TROUBLE) And others . . . NPR totally discounts anything and everything non-white here in America yet it calls itself National Public Radio even when NPR doesn't equally or fairly represent the true "diverse-ness" of our beloved United States of America. Just because, for 20 or so years "white America" abdicated the vitality of RAP MUSIC doesn't mean rap music should still continue to be dis counted but the likes of NPR (National Public Radio) where 84% of its listeners (in 2006) are white people belonging to country clubs of some kind. NPR is BULLSHIT!!!!! But MAKING LOVE is a total "NPR-FILM" for sure. And I guess I must like NPR because I sure know a lot about it and keep talking endlessly about how full of crap NPR is. |
