  How refreshing to see a gay movie dealing with older people (in their 30s! - no 'cute totty' on display here) and which is so decidedly upbeat. New York... read more »

  Rather slow and stretches credibility
  
  Many things about this film are very good, with some very good performances and moments where the story was believable.

  A fairy story
  
  A gay 'feel good' movie and a fairy story in the best sense of those words. A movie to cheer you up on a bad day.

  Uplifting
  
  Great cinematography. A slow burn of a narrative. A slightly gay version of 'Northern Exposure' - quirky - but rewarding viewing.
