| 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.

Sex and Lucia
Lucía (the stunning Paz Vega)is a young waitress in a restaurant in the centre of
Madrid. After the loss of her long-time boyfriend, a writer, she seeks refuge on a
quiet, secluded Mediterranean island. There, bathed in an atmosphere of fresh air
and dazzling sun, Lucía begins to discover the dark corners of her past relationship,
as if they were forbidden passages of a novel which the author now, from afar,
allows her to read.
