CGiii Comment

Said to be the best gay movie of all time...by whom?!

Sherwood had AIDS and this was regarded as a highly personal film - and it is...but, that is not necessarily a good thing.

Stereotypes, cliches by the score...and, gratuitous kissing - pollute the story. 

In the company of so many disagreeable characters - Parting Glances is a marathon of tolerance.

But, it is important...even though it is wholly unlikeable.
