Movie Reviews

  • this new film version of the off-Broadway hit about gay lives in New York is strange, compelling and unexpectedly potent
    4 of 5 by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]
  • this lovingly crafted film -- with director Joe Mantello and his marvelous ensemble all reprising their stage roles -- has value even as a highly polished museum piece
    by David Rooney [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • the all-gay cast's powerhouse performances elevate this sophisticated, tart-tongued second screen adaptation of the 1968 play
    Review rate : A- by Ryan Lattanzio [IndieWire ]
  • strongly acted and effectively staged, "The Boys in the Band" has lost little of its impact in the five decades since its first debut, and is a fitting tribute to its creator Mart Crowley, who died in March
    4 of 5 by Nikki Baughan [Empire Magazine ]
  • it's a blast spending time with this gay bunch navigating their homosexuality in ways that feel both antiquated and fresh
    4 of 5 by Robert Kojder [Flickering Myth ]
  • if some of the character subtleties get lost in the drunken shuffle, Mantello's dedicated company honors the communal bonds that have transformed characters from such different backgrounds into a family
    by Charles McNulty [Los Angeles Times ]
  • "The Boys in the Band" is a charming revival of a landmark gay drama that boasts moving and nuanced turns from its talented ensemble, especially from Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto
