  Review by RAPHAEL D ★★★★★ 3

  I like dropping hints that this is so good and I'm suicidal.
  This is so good!!! And I'm suicidal!!!

  Sometimes you're just scrolling down netflix with your friends, trying to find something worthy of your time and you end up getting yourself on a fucking ride. I enjoyed every single moment of this, even when I wanted to stop the film and just leave it there because I thought I couldn't take it anymore. This hit home. This was personal. This was real.

  I am tired of tragic love stories in every lgbt film, but this is important. Not only because of how intense it is and how it is important to show a hard time in our history, but also to show real relationships. It's not just black and white, nothing is absolute, people go through things, they can overcome it. Even when they don't.

  Review by Luke Kane ★★★★½ 1

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Movies are meant to prod us in our sensitive areas. It's a part of what makes cinema a worthy medium. I'm certain that Holding the Man will come as a gut-punch to many gay men, as it did me. Based on Timothy Conigrave's 1995 autobiographical novel, it traces the relationship of two university students who fall in love amidst the socially turbulent seventies and through to the AIDS crisis that erupted in the eighties. It's a romantic drama punctuated by terrific performances and a lucid screenplay. Trendy politics notwithstanding, the film uses flash backs/forwards to remain subjective and personal. There are no montages to capture the social climate, no sobering statistics and no emphasis on anything too forensic or analytical.…

  FUCK THIS MOVIE. FUCK CINEMA. I'M OVER IT. I'M ONLY READING BOOKS. BUT LIKE HAPPY ONES BECAUSE I AM DISTRAUGHT.

  This poster is not a good representation of what you will find in this film. Nope. I am in tears. I had to take a break because I was so choked up. You can't do this to me y'all.

  I just wanted a cute gay movie I could watch while playing Pokemon and then I got too invested and now I am bawling. Fuck.
