  Review by Sally Jane Black 10

  Nothing has changed.

  The white supremacist power structures of the West still exclude immigrants, and the patriarchal structures still seek to make servants of women and pariahs of queer people. They intertwine (interchangeably) with capitalism to economically reinforce marginalization, and the consequences of this playout, over and over, costing people's lives, costing people's livelihoods, costing people's souls. Finding peace within that comes in small doses but at great sacrifice.

  It feels as if the film focuses too much on Johnny toward the end, but that might be a balancing problem in that there are five other stories playing out around him. Everyone in this is struggling for their own freedom, from Omar to Rachel. Probably even Moose, though his part…

  Review by Thorkell August Ottarsson ★★★★½

  This is not only the break through film for Daniel Day-Lewis, it is also a very important look at Thatcherism, race issues in England at the time and homosexuality. What is amazing is that the homosexual subject is not such a big issue at all. These are guys who just happen to be homosexuals. Race and class is a much bigger problem here than sexual orientation. This is maybe the big difference between Hollywood and Europe. The film never defends or tries to excuse the fact that these are two men in love and making love on camera, in a film made for the general public.

  I saw this film back in the 80s and have been wanting to revisit it. It impressed me greatly when I saw it as a teenager and I was pleased to find out that it still stands tall. It is in fact one of the best films from the 80s.
