Summary: Ownership is Imperative
Review: This movie is absolutely beautiful. It doesn't matter what your sexuality is, this movie will remind you about what love is REALLY about.... honesty with yourself and others. The actors do a superb job, I found myself melting and crying at such small things as mere facial expressions. This movie will remind you about the innocence of love, and for me at least, was a cure for cynicism. I am ordering it immediately after having viewed it for the first time.

Summary: Beautiful indeed
Review: I can't stress enough the importance of a movie that shows gay teens in a positive light, and without AIDS or a noose around their neck. It is important for the psyche of a lot of people in this world. For that reason alone, this movie is invaluable. Add great actors and the immortal Mam Cass, and a mvoie is rarely better or more entertaining.

Summary: Hooooookkkkeeeedddd, can't help it !
Review: This movie has everything, You can't help but love every character, and feel each individual person's life. Whether your gay, straight, a mother, friend or WHATEVER. It has warmth, tenderness, understanding, I just can't go on. I can't stop watching it, I even got my parents to watch it, and they love it. This should be a required movie to see in all 50 states, I'm certain hatred, bigotry, and so on will go on a downscale immensely.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This film deserves massive props for being one of the leaders in gay cinema. It does not portray gay people as trashy or as comic releif. It illustrates gay people when they are most innocent: as teens.

This is a gay teen love story. Watching the two young men try to stay together while not making a big scene is something I'm sure a lot of people can relate to. Sometimes it is diffucult to understand what the characters are saying because of the British accent, but the important lines of diaolgue are easy to understand.

At first I thought the events of the film moved a bit quickly, but after watching it again, it all fits into place. This movie is definitly beautiful and worth watching.

Summary: Make your own kind of music
Review: This film defines how life should be. Life is too short to get caught up in petty, trivial things. Love is the greatest thing in the world, and Jamie and Ste give us all hope that it is out there.

This film is a romantic comedy with a great insight in to relationships and feelings. A must for everyone to see.

Definitely MY favourite film.

Summary: BEST MOVIE THAT CAPTURES THE TRUE EMOTIONAL BATTLES!
Review: I saw this movie today and i was astound, It was very true in my case i'm 15 almost 16 and i could really relate to what was happening. It was a great movie filled with touching scenes which brough me back to my past as it was happening to Jamies. I cried on this movie when Jamie was confronted by his mother and It reminded me of my experiences and It left an impact to remind me the pain and suffer i went through in the process to coming out to my parents. This movie is a great heart warmth movie that will truly mean something to each person seeing this. Best movie about two gay guys i've ever saw and the first movie to really make me cry! Above all it's a good movie for any teenager to see it! I sure know its my favorite!

Summary: My Favorite Movie Ever
Review: This is the best movie I have ever seen! It touched me in so many ways. Jamie and Ste are the cutest couple. I wish they were together in real life. As a gay man, this is the kind of love I dream of. It gives me hope that someday I may find it.

Summary: Tender, realistic gay teen love story
Review: This film is an enjoyable, balanced depiction of two young lads who come to terms with their gayness under vastly different family circumstances, despite the fact that they are neighbors. Set in working-class Britain, "Beautiful Thing" focuses on one boy's struggle with domestic violence at the hands of his father, while the other boy fears losing the respect and love of his adoring mother.

As they reach out to each other, and to their accepting friends and gay community, a romance blossoms and prevails.

For many U.S. viewers, the pronounced British accents will require close attention to dialogue, but the film's fresh, honest approach to the theme makes it all worthwhile. Music by the Mamas and Papas offers a nice backdrop.

Would be a great film for Jr/Sr high school students to view, either to learn about their own sexuality or that of others. No graphic nudity or sexuality....this really should have been rated PG or PG-13.

Summary: Your own kind of music
Review: This film is so amazingly complex in its simplicity that I keep returning to it in order to finally catch all the subtlety. I am yet to succeed. It's all fine and well to say that it is a coming-out film, but there is so much more to it. Jamie and Ste's story takes centre stage, but the complexity of all the other characters makes the film a real masterpiece. It is refreshing to see a "gay" film in which the lead characters do not look as if they've spent three years in the gym preparing, but in the end the gay content becomes insignificant. This is simply a portrait of people living in a depressing social situation who eventually overcome all difficulties and can blossom (notice the detail of the flowers on the balcony of Jamie's flat, contrasted with the concrete surroundings - a nice touch). I think the reason why I still cannot completely assimilate this film is because I keep on thinking: I want to feel like that again! It really is not a gay movie, it is a movie about loving, and loving no matter what. It's great.
