Amazing Surprise
I admit, I was rather apprehensive to watch this movie because I knew it would not be easy since the subject matter was quite obviously not about entertaining but rather tackling a difficult subject matter. And so I waited for a long time before getting the courage to sit down and experience the story which is very strong and absolutely touching.

I’m not particularly fond of flashbacks in movies because they tend to be used as gimmicks and we need as viewers a proper clue that what we are seeing is in a different time frame. But I shouldn’t have worried since the movie was directed and edited by people who know their craft and they were able to construct a beautiful love story.

The 2 leads are absolutely amazing and the acting is very strong from the whole cast so it was a pleasure to get into the story which, although difficult and certainly very sad, was also uplifting and amazingly well crafted. I particularly enjoyed Ryan Corr portrayal of the conceited, arrogant yet loving Timothy Conigrave character and he is lifting the movie to a higher plane full of pathos and subtleties.

Craig Matthew Stott as Conigrave’s lover John Caleo is also very good with a subtle performance and his chemistry with Timothy is really strong. The ending which is always a sore subject for me when not done right was actually satisfying even if I knew that it couldn’t be anything but sad yet, there is a quality to the script that makes it uplifting and very touching.

A solid 8 stars from me is well deserved and I would totally recommend it to anyone who is interested in this subject matter yet, be aware that this is no picnic in the park but a difficult yet inspiring journey into the romantic bond between 2 men who we feel truly love each other until the end.

Outstanding!
I read the book many years ago, but it has taken me a long time to watch the movie – I loved the book SO much, I didn’t want to be disappointed.

I needn’t have worried, because the movie is absolutely outstanding! Beautifully acted by the entire cast, poignant, and yes, incredibly sad. I’m still crying 30 mins after finishing it.

It’s not an easy movie to watch, but it’s so very worth it. Australian cinema at it’s finest!
