| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Antwone Fisher Movie Rating: 
Inspirational Story | |
| Denzel Washington makes his directorial debut with the true story of Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke), a sullen sailor with a heart of gold whose exceptionally harsh life has left him severely lacking in both self-esteem and self-control. When his temper lands him an appointment with a Navy psychiatrist (Washington), Fisher is forced to confront the painful past he's been trying for years to forget. | |
| Washington doesn't display much flair as a director with this cut-and-dried drama, hitting all the obligatory notes in a simplistic manner that lacks subtext and nuance. Nevertheless, the inherent poignancy of Fisher's remarkable story, along with a powerful performance by newcomer Luke, make for an ultimately heartbreaking and inspirational film. |
