It's another fucking Brokeback Mountain. Don't bother.

I will say that Janet McTeer is amazing as Mr. Page, and I will seek out more movies starring her. But even she does not make it worth it to put up with this shit. For shame, Glenn Close.

Thank you for the McTeer rec, and I appreciate the warning.

I'm at the point where representation is less important in and of itself to me; I want the portrayal of queer characters to be both realistic and sympathetic, including the idea of homophobia not utterly destroying a person's life and joy and fulfillment being possible.

Given that, I think you'll be pleased.

That sounds promising! :-D

I'll have to see if I can get ahold of that movie.
