    Always enamored by Tess's scarily perfect visuals and restrained emotional strangulation

    I’m looking for something to say but it’s just so good all around that I’m having trouble explaining why

    ★★★½

    martin sheen’s portrayal of gary, doug’s partner, was absolutely the strongest part of this movie. the hurt in his face when nick was immediately cold to him; the frustration he expressed towards a patronizing straight man; his longing for doug to be really out, to be less ashamed and willing to show him affection outside. it was real! and he’s so sweet! I wish this was a fully realized feature film and that the other characters were better constructed, because martin sheen is so fantastic and I want more of him in this intimate role.

    cutest little elliott gould film. something about the tone and setting make this feel comfortingly new york, like how I perceived manhattan as a child. it's almost sesame streetish despite being a sex comedy.
    even while being a sort of silly film I feel like I got something out of the way elliott runs around so anxious all the time. like oh, me too, and as curly dark haired new yorkers I think he and I deserve peace of mind and joy
