Movie Reviews

The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 8/10 by Annie WagnerTender and resolutely unsentimental, Parting Glances avoided future AIDS movie clichés not because the example had yet to be set, but because its interests lay elsewhere.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyBill Sherwood's film is one of the first and most significant works (indie, of course) about the AIDS crisis that goes beyond the issue of coming out, placing its romantic triangle in the broader context of a vibrant gay community.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeStill the best and most honest film ever made about AIDS.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt was one of the first films to confront the emotional repercussions of AIDS, and has not become dated--which speaks volumes for this appealing candid movie.
San Diego CityBeat - 6/10 by Glenn Heath Jr.The film may be shot like a breezy New York City trifle, but an aching undercurrent resides in every interaction.
User Review - 10/10 by Thomas LSimply my favorite movie. It was the first film I saw with gay lead characters where the story wasn't about them being gay. Their sexuality is a given. It isn't the problem or the conflict of the film. It shows gay men in relationships without having to explain them. That was revolutionary. After its theatrical run, it was nearly ten years before I found it on video. I bought it and hoped that it would still hold up. It did and it does. PARTING GLANCES has a quiet, very human, power. It trusts the characters to tell the story without feeling the need to explain everything. It trusts its audience too. It's a beautiful film.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael R"Parting Glances" was in 1986 ahead of it's time with the way it handled the subject matter of AIDS. "Steve Buscemi" is just as amazing an actor then as he is now in his break out role as a somewhat washed up rocker with HIV/Aids. The main storyline is that of His Character"Nick's) ex Michael "Richard Ganoung" dealing with his lover going to Africa on a long business assignment while still loving and tending to "Nick" Buscemi's Character,making sure he eats and takes his meds. In Michael's heart Nick will always be the love of his life and thats bitter sweet. Enter the club scenes at The Limelight"they dont mention it,but I have been to that club enough to know that's where it was filmed" and the party scenes with all the steriotypical characters,"the over weight effeminent bitter vicious gay man","The ever so undestanding overweight fag hag" played well by Kathy Kinney " of Drew Carey fame. The young promiscuous pretty boy.etc.. I very much enjoyed the movie and it still holds up today,even more so for it's nostalgic merit.
User Review - 10/10 by Daryl Va wonderful litttle indy film about friendship, and loss.
User Review - 10/10 by Carreh RA touching humorous look at gay and straight friendships, romances in the early days of HIV. Steve Buscemi is great in the role of Nick.
User Review - 10/10 by Orlando LNeed a reason to believe in Queer Cinema again? Watch and learn.
