Great movie. There's so much there right under the surface. Even the slower moments speak volumes. Deals with profound issues - being closeted at work; dealing with a loss of a loved one; fear of growing old alone; finding meaning in life; g*y men's relationship with straight women; perspective of Brits in America; issues of coming of age; the Cuban missle crisis; g*ys in the military; etc... Also, plenty of humor throughout - very charming & engaging. It's also beautifully made. Loved it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Truth is right in front of us; do we want to see?

There's definitely several sc@ndal moments in the film, as well as moments of intrigue & mystergy. But once you get over that, sadness sets in on many levels (i) sadness for the politician himself and how staying in the c!oset is damaging him, (ii) sadness for the politician's wife and what this does to her, (iii) sadness for the politician's family, (iv) sadness as to how this politician is att@cking other g@ys (and denying them rights) in order to come to terms with his hidden identity, and (v) duplicity by everyone else in terms of taking advantage of this phenomenan for their own personal political benefit, regardless of how they really think & believe. Unbelievable. One last emotion - anger.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
