Synopsis
Adam (Andrew Scott) is a reserved gay writer living in London, traumatised by the death of his parents in a automobile accident when he was a boy.
One night, after a conflagration alarm, his younger neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal) drunkenly makes a pass, which Adam awkwardly rebuffs.
Slowly, these two lonely men change into closer and form a connection that will have profound, tragic consequences.

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
It&#;s not often I write about movies in the first person, but then it&#;s not often a movie moves me to the point where I contain the sensation of myself on the big screen.
I&#;m passionate about film as anyone who knows me knows, anything from silent
&#;Supernova&#;: Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth&#;s Affection Story Is Moving Despite Its Limits
Supernova, written and directed by Harry Macqueen, is a moving film about two men, Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci), who’ve been together for 20 years. They are a compatibly tempered pair whose differences only experience like points of affiliation. Sam is American; Tusker is English. Both are artists: Sam a pianist, Tusker a writer at serve on a novel that does not seem to be going well. Writer’s block is, we learn, not the issue. Tusker has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. And Sam is committed to seeing him through it.
A difficulty of terminal illness is that you may open to mourn the dying — who are still alive, still here, even if slipping — as if they are already expired. And so a heaviness, not unearned, accompanies so much of what happens in this clip. This in many ways lends itself to Supernova’s unusual strength: the instinct of knowing history between these men and, with it, the things that needn’t be said for our boon, b
The 50 Best LGBTQ Movies Ever Made

If it feels a bit like a CW version of an after-school unique, that's no mistake: Teen-tv super-producer Greg Berlanti makes his feature-film directorial debut here. It's as chaste a love story as you're likely to look in the 21st century—the hunky gardener who makes the title teen scrutinize his sexuality is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, for God’s sake—but you recognize what? The queer kids of the future necessitate their wholesome entertainment, too.

A gay fantasia on Elton themes. An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going. It might be an overcorrection from the straight-washing of the previous year's Bohemian Rhapsody, but when it's this much fun, it's best not to overthink it.

ALL OF US STRANGERS
Directed by Andrew Haigh
Written by Andrew Haigh and Taichi Yamada
Rustin, Maestro, Fellow Travelers, and now a ghost story, All of Us Strangers, are among a number of films released last year, driven by queer characters. The top thing about this unused crop of films is the universal concept of love tearing through the stories.
I first saw All of Us Strangers, last October at the American Film Institute Film Festival. I left the Chinese theater on Hollywood Boulevard somewhat shellshocked and truly gob-smacked by my emotions. Unsure of my feelings, I huddled with a few gay guys outside the cinema, street-talking a bit of movie madness among strangers. Mystified by our mutual dislocation, we tried to ponder and parse our reactions and decipher what really happened to the ghostly characters in the romantic supernatural movie we just saw.
Guided by the moody lighting and cinematography of Jamie D. Ramsay and the eerie sweetness of Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch&#;s music, All of Us Stranger’s opening is strangely seductive.
