20 years after its release, this fun movie holds up remarkably well.
Despite some truly corny moments, (the "gay strike" really is over the top but at least offers a storyline anchor for the second half), 'The Marriage Wars' remains a good watch that spreads cheer and joy through its storyline. Oddly enough it's as much some of the straight characters as some of the gay ones who are stereotypes but it's all forgivable as it weaves its merry way through a storyline that calls out homophobia and bigotry and ends with lessons leant on all sides.
It has many tender moments which are deeply moving and provides lots of smiling moments.
It's hard to believe how long ago this film was made and how unknown it seems to be.
Enjoy!

A beautifully presented film of real life events that touches the heart deeply.
Anthony Hopkins shines as usual supported by a wonderful cast.
Current events demonstrate only too well how the rise of the Nazis can be repeated. Indeed it is shocking to watch just how easy that could be. Trump and his thugs are pristine examples of such evil.
This film is an important historical telling of just how standing aside while evil festers is the entree for it to take hold.
History has much to teach us about the darkness of the human heart but also how its goodness can prevail.
This movie helps us remember just how dark the human spirit can be. But also how the power of one can defeat it.
Highly recommended.

This was so, so not what I was expecting. I expected a camp, funny journey amongst guests on an island resort.
Two episodes in and I felt so disturbed I wasn't sure if this was for me. It was a total mind fk.
I am...glad... is not the word...but challenged I stuck with it.
The less you know about this series the better.
Ultimately it is everything NOT what American tv too often dishes out.
It is brilliantly written and directed and explores the darkness of the human spirit in such a cunningly manoeuvring way it grabs you by the throat and wrestles you to the ground and jams its messages right down your throat with a daiquiri on the side.. STUNNING, STUNNING television.
