    ★★½

    Tries to cover so much ground that it ends up doing nothing successfully... definitely needed to be (at least) an hour longer, or to pick a smaller section of helfgott's life to focus on. There's definitely a universe in which this film works - it's decently well shot, and rush's performance is very good - but it ends up feeling emotionally devoid and falling flat.

    Every time something bad happened to gizmo i wanted to kill myself, and after that ending i might anyway.

    More creature features should feature creatures that resemble willem dafoe.

    not to review bomb but taylor swift actually broke into my house, held my family at gunpoint, baked my cat into a pie and fed it to us, called me a slur and then proceeded to make us watch as she poured petrol into the ocean.

    blank space is catchy though.

    "When i start to come, choke me"

    Feel like such a dumb stereotype whenever i love a film about gay men being sad and horny , but this film is great so i've had to get over myself. Obviously brilliant and emotionally impactful, and surprisingly well acted considering it stars two non-professional actors... definitely a film that will stay with me for a while. Still feels weirdly very microcosmic of the gay experience, even 30+ years later. A little on…
