  1. Don't be too quick to jump on Hurt with complaints of old-fashioned gay stereotyping. Only with a development well into the movie will the audience realize the layers he brought to Molina's role-playing.

    Leonard Schrader adapted the screenplay from the novel by Manuel Puig, and his fearless willingness to explore every corner of human nature serves what is greatest and sweetest in the performances of William Hurt and Raul Julia.
  3. 88
    Tells one of those rare and entrancing stories where one thing seems to happen while another thing is really happening.

    Excellent movie based on the novel by Manuel Puig. Further study of the novel and film will reveal the great performance of Hurt, if we take into account the novel was written in 1976. The novel itself is an amazing insight of the characters and political and genre problems. Expand
