This is that rare thing a life enhancing film. The two lead actors give incredible performances and as a film it is solid, beautiful and incredibly moving. What could have been clichés turn into little miracles of joy, and at this terrible time of March 2020 gently reminds us that despite exterior walls there should be no inner walls between us. As I watched it I felt it was time to release ourselves from every definition other than the basic fact we are all human and vulnerable. And maybe it is time to shed the weight of Gay and Queer and all other categories and simply to be what we are; diverse human beings without a label and after this virus that has taken over this planet to come together as human beings who have turned a page of history. This film in its simplicity and beauty of form and content seemed to me a beacon for the future. In 2017 none of what is happening could be predicted and yet as I watched it I saw the refusal of little boxes as represented by society blown away. Love wins over all bigotry and hatred, and a big thank you for the director and the cast for reminding us in subtle, but clear ways that the former repressions must go. Film can be a guide to the future and this film scores 10 in every scene, every gesture and every action. We are all going through a big test, but the two lovers in this film had three and they came through. And two requests; cast off definitions of sexuality, and please bring this out on DVD. Shops may close but this DVD could be waiting for us at the end of the tunnel
