USA/2009/99mins/12A. Dir: Tom Ford.
With Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode.

Debut director, Tom Ford uses his strong eye for design to create this vivid and almost palpable portrait of 1960s LA. British college professor George Falconer is struggling to find meaning in his life after the tragic death of his partner, Jim. Hoping to just make it through the day, a series of encounters cause him to reflect on his bliss-filled life with Jim and to consider whether or not he has a future. With superb supporting performances by Julianne Moore as his lovelorn and cocktail soaked best friend and Nicholas Hoult as a tentatively obsessive student, Colin Firth turns in one of his most sympathetic and persuasive performances to date.
