2016/17 Season

LOVE IS STRANGE

US 2015 (15) 94 minutes Directed by Ira Sachs

Ipswich Film Theatre - 19 December 2016 - 7.30pm Two middle-aged gays, Ben and George, decide to make their devoted partnership of almost 40 years official. But marriage in 21st century Manhattan certainly has its challenges – for them and their families. Extremely moving performances from John Lithgow and Alfred Molina. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Very enjoyable. Nice work from both leads; A first-hand depiction of how wide-reaching and corrosive prejudice is to its direct and indirect victims. Chopin always beautiful; Kind of affecting but as hammy as hell; Really rather tedious. Too many tiresome people. Only rescued by the two principal actors. Inappropriate intrusive piano music; What on earth happened to Uncle Ben? Still, I enjoyed seeing New York again!
