I must admit that I wasn't too keen about the storyline, usually not going anywhere near gay-themed movies. However, I'm a great admirer of Colin Firth and therefore decided to give this a shot.
In short: I have absolutely no regrets!
I felt strangely drawn to the film from the very first minute, and that lasted till the very end.
In many ways it reminded me of European cinema. It is clear that the shots were selected very, very carefully. No scene seems unnecessary, even though the viewer doesn't always know where the film is taking him. The soundtrack is simply superb. The whole movie is like a carefully assembled piece of handicraft, and Colin Firth, as the centerpiece, is just divine. He definitely proves that he is one of the great actors of today.
An absolute joy to watch!
