Movie Reviews

New York Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedNo contemporary film that promotes love instead of war should be overlooked. Private Romeo will undoubtedly be regarded by some as a curio, but it's a sweet, sympathetic and surprising one, highly recommended to the adventurous spirit in an enlightened and changing world.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Grace MontgomeryEdgy Shakespeare update with all-male cast has sex, drugs.
New York Times - 4/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisMuch better to focus on the tempestuous Mercutio (Hale Appleman, a standout), whose increasing volatility forms the perfect counterpoint to Mr. Doyle's beaming Juliet and Seth Numrich's sensitive Romeo. Punctuated by eerily static shots of empty basketball courts and deserted hallways, Mercutio's blustering menace is as timeless as the romance he seeks to derail.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Diego SemerenePrivate Romeo feels more like a side project from the producers of Glee than some kind of novel queering of Shakespeare's text.
CultureCatch - 3/10 by Brandon JudellIn the end, Private Romeo, with its indie budget, handsomely captures the uncompromising nature of young love, and "it ends with a long deep sigh, like the breeze of the evening," as Samuel Coleridge said it should.
User Review - 10/10 by Neville KStarting out, I was a little confused as to the text being a "Romeo & Juliet" take off, but soon got caught up in the storyline and the romance and the relationships of all the characters. Poor reviews must come from those who are not in tune with Indie type productions, as to me this was most professional and very satisfying for the overall experience. I had no trouble following the dialogue and found it quite refreshing as the actors delivery seemed "right-on", and the familiar passages that we have been reading and listening to for many years, came to life in a most entertaining Movie. My congrads to Alan Brown, it takes a lot of guts to stick it out that far, Gay and Shakespeare both, wow!! A talented group of actors, especially Seth Numrich as Romeo, Matt Doyle (fine set of pipes at the end credits) as Juliet, and Hale Appleman as Mercutio. I was disappointed in the reviews, don't let them keep you from this production, if for nothing else, to see an unusual twist to Shakespeare and draw your own conclusion, it won't disappoint. 5 stars, 05202012
User Review - 10/10 by Alan CA surprising, refreshing and brilliant way to make Shakespeare's classic completely modern and sexy.
User Review - 10/10 by Mario LA delight. Very surprising smooth acting with heart. The scenes flow. The actors deliver solid performances. A tender, imaginative piece of work from Alan Brown.
User Review - 8/10 by Oscar TIt was way better than the ratings indicate. I found it interesting and the "balcony" scene almost had me in tears. I love this play, was in it once and have seen it a dozen times. Of course this is a very cut up shortened version, but I liked it. If you can't handle a gay love story, this film is not for you.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul OA very good homosexual modern portrayal of romeo and Juliet. Don't ask don't tell version in sorts. The only down side was that it was difficult to tell who was who for the first half of the movie.
