| 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.

Y Tu Mamá También
The lives of Julio and Tenoch, like the lives of most seventeen-year old boys, are
controlled by their hormones, their friendship, and by their headlong rush into adulthood.
During a festive afternoon with their families, they meet Luisa, a twenty-eight
year old Spaniard, and flirt with her with all the style and grace seventeen-year old
boys are known for.

With the intimate, personal story of Y Tu Mamá También director Alfonso Cuarón and
his collaborator, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (who together gave us A Little
Princess and Great Expectations) combine their acclaimed visual poetry with raucous
laughter, searing eroticism and ultimately, a profound sadness for a particular moment
in time, and how it was lived, and lost. Released April 12th.
