Having recently rewatched My Beautiful Laundrette I was surprised by how specific it feels to a certain place and time (1980's London). That's not necessarily a bad thing but just kind of interesting. The script and story are a bit unpolished, but the motivations, feelings, and emotions of the characters still manage to shine through. Even though there's a gay connection between two of the characters, defining this film as a gay romance or anything of the sort is a misrepresentation in my opinion. It's a kind of quirky but heartfelt film that will not be for everyone, but if you're curious then definitely check it out.
