Outstanding
A phenomenal performance and story of love, challenge and acceptance. A definite tear jerker, this film is not romantic per se but a real life story of two mature men in love facing seemingly insurmountable odds when faced with a grave illness. Sally Field is great in her supporting role. Jim Parsons is a strong lead but the true star is Ben Aldridge. His dreamy character is flawed yet very human and convincing as a man who's life is irrevocably changed when faced with very hard news. Fans off Queer Eye will recognize Antoni Porowski in a cameo role. A definite must see although bring a box of Kleenex. - JankiSharma - 13 December 2022
Love is unconditional
The movie Spoiler Alert Directed by Michael Showalter( also directed among others movies The Eyes of Tammy Faye & The Big Sick) has once again chosen a nice story . Simple and likeable gay Michael Ausiello(Jim Parsons from TBBT) likes to be on his own after work and socializes very little. Michael takes a liking to Kit Cowan( Ben Aldridge) who is dancing in a gay bar with his female friend who likes to hang out with cute gay friends. Screenplay is simple and natural. The conversations and awkwardness of Michael, Kit and Kit's roommate Kirby when the relationship between Michael and Kit is questioned by Kit's mom Marilyn (adorable Sally Field) and dad Bob( Bill Irwin) is one of my favorite parts of the movie. The scenes in the restaurant when Michael sits across from Kit with both knowing the near future are exceptional. Sleeping under the Christmas tree with hopeful wishes is beautifully done. Sally Field as the mother who is extremely hurt and vocal because her son did not expect her to understand his sexual orientation and her maternal love for her child are depicted very well. Jim Parsons , Ben Aldridge , Sally Field along with a good screenplay and excellent Direction have made 1hr52 min movie very likeable.
