The latest mainstream, Awards-hungry gay flick. It's reviewing pretty well but, interestingly, it seems writer-director Harry Mcqueen isn't gay and in interviews he's expressed sentiments to the effect of "love transcends sexuality." Which makes me apprehensive that the choice to even feature a same-sex couple might be little more than some outwardly progressive branding. Perhaps I'm being too cynical though.
Colin Firth taking up the gay mantle again since A Single Man. Though is Stanley Tucci not a weird casting choice (I mostly associate him those dreadful Transformers movies)?
Who here has seen it? Any thoughts?
