5.0 out of 5 stars
an incredibly beautiful film - buy it,
By
This review is from: World and Time Enough (DVD)
i first saw this film in 1996 and it helped me come out. i saw it again this year and it's still as beautiful.the reason why i say buy this film is because it is one of the few times you will see a gay couple portrayed honestly, with dignity and without any of the scene frippery that seems to have to accompany most gay films. i won't tell you anything about the story line but will say that this is a rare portrait showing that men can love one another fiercely, tenderly and beautifully. by concentrating on the issues the two men are facing rather than their relationship together we get a truthful portrayal of our love and any political points are reserved for the wonderful political art made by one of the characters. i can't recommend this film strongly enough. it gave me something tangible to realise that men can love men beautifully before i came out and continues to sustain me now. truthfully, the warmest, most truthful gay film i have ever seen

heartfelt and honest,

This review is from: World and Time Enough (DVD)
This magical and mystical little Minneapolis-based film is basically about two cute (but not 'Hollywood perfect'), quirky guys who fall in love at first sight (much to the pretend annoyance of their friend, the catty narrator who propels the story). They struggle with all the problems of life: living together; the death of parents; coming out; homophobia from family, peers, and workplace; their future. Matt Guidry and Gregory G. Giles could not be more perfect, and loving, in their portrayals and Mark (an HIV+ artist) and Joey (a garbage collector who sees art and beauty in what is 'junk' to others). Mark's cynicism softens in the light of Joey's loving, giving nature and they complement one another perfectly. But their story is far from maudlin. It is gritty and real, and they both have demons. But Mark and Joey also have each other, and their sweet story is just about as lovely, intelligent (with homages to Gregg Araki's The Living End and Hamlet), and warm as any on screen. A bright, shining little gem.

Flawed but worthwhile,
By A Customer
This review is from: World & Time Enough (VHS Tape)
This is a believeable, well-acted romantic drama. There's nothing as grand and all-encompassing as the title, just the story of two young men deeply in love, coping with money and family problems while working to stay together. That's about all, but it's enough. The two leads (Mark Gruindy and Gregory Giles) are appealing and believeable, and the low budget actually helps the film. The only significant flaw is the REALLY annoying narrator. He's only a minor player in the story, so why have him introduce the story? But other criticisms of the film are trivial. It's true that the Mark Gruindy character is exasperating in his self-richeous, I'm-A-Victim attitude. But there are a lot of professional activists im the community like him. Gregory Giles's character is too good to be true, but that's typical of movie romances. As for the characters being too handsome, so what? If you want to see a heartfelt, realistic romance and cheer on a couple to stay together, this may be worth your while.
