The Boys in the Band

It is all unexpectedly potent, particularly in the absurdity and petulance and pain that Parsons crams into his performance.

Strongly acted and effectively staged...

...no doubt has its benefits as both a history lesson and an outsize acting showcase for its talented cast...

...skådespeleriet är så lysande, stämningen så intensiv, dialogen så giftig och känslorna så starka att den här konstant engagerande filmen inte har en trött minut.

Jim Parson sheds his Sheldon Cooper schtick in this Joe Mantello’s joyous adaptation of the classic LGBT+ play.

...en overflod af oneliners og hurtige bemærkninger fyldt med humor, selvhad og angst, hvoraf langt de fleste er smågeniale.
