Williams and director Dito Montiel are in tune with a pervading sense of tenderness, as the movie distinctly ruminates on connection, not love. Read full review

[Montiel] reinvents himself, dialing down the machismo of early releases to craft a story of tremendous compassion. Read full review

Peter Debruge

This is one of the kindest characters Williams has ever played, which makes his self-imposed turmoil — the consequence of not wanting to hurt anyone, least of all his wife — all the more tragic. Read full review

Alan Scherstuhl

Director Dito Montiel aspires to sensitive drama, but Douglas Soesbe's script too often mires Williams in pat situations. Read full review

Jul 16, 2015

Working from a screenplay by Douglas Soesbe that juggles contrivance and insight, Montiel labors to avoid sensationalizing Nolan's story, and in the process he overcompensates. Read full review

As truthful as it is, Boulevard conveys little insight into characters who are believable and well acted but incapable of change. Read full review

Clayton Dillard

Not merely rote, Boulevard is contemptible for a belief in its own stature as a daring attempt to parse through the minutia of its core relationship, where Nolan's uncertain sexuality would be terms enough to laud the film's provocative insights. Read full review

The movie had an interesting story, great acting performances and it was an overall pretty good film, Some people might find it a little too slow, but it's still a good movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is very much a film about loneliness, secrets and perhaps self reflection, or introspection. I watched it as it stars Robin Williams and I hadn't seen it before - I enjoy most of the films he's made, especially in the last 10-20 years of his life. This is very much a film with him as the man, husband walking around with inner turmoil, somewhat unsure what to say or what to offer. I felt like I could imagine the frustration and upset the main character, Nolan, felt - Robin was very facially expressive and this is, of course, the case in this film.

Suffice to say, this is a sad film but its a well made film, which I would recommend, yes.… Expand

A mighty actor in a light role, accomplish it like usual.

Ian McKellen would have been a convenient actor to lead in this as it was a very close to his real life. You might have heard this is a Robin Williams last movie. One final amazing character display where the whole movie was about his part, but nothing else. A decent storyline, but a simple, low cost drama about homosexual.

The exposition of the tale was very brief, but took its time to evolve in the entire 90 minutes. Still clarifications like regarding his wife, their marriage and the end scene can not be proved its meaning. Though we can assume them in many angles. I think those were the major setback for this film, otherwise it could have been a better one.

I would have loved it if the emotions were stronger. Because the film characters and their relationship constructions were absorbing. So the only missing piece was the sentimental appeal. But Robin Williams' sudden dismissal and the time of this movie is coming out is what heartbreaks, especially the sort of role he appeared in it. I am positive that if you like him very much, then you must see it.

Boulevard is one of the last few posthumous performances by Robin Williams. The big thing that works about Boulevard is Williams' performance. He gets top marks for his role in this movie and I think this role was his best in a few years. The rest of the movie is kind of lame.

He gets top marks for his role in this movie and I think this role was his best in a few years. The rest of the movie is kind of lame. The story is just so unexciting and slow that it is really hard to keep your attention and nothing about the story is significant enough to engage your mind. This film looks like its trying to be a lot more metaphorical than it actually is and Boulevard is not even a suitable title for this film.… Expand
