Review of Jeffrey (1995) by David Ray G — 07 Aug 2008

Somewhere between tragic and folly, comes the story of an unappeased young man, Jeffrey, who is in love with an HIV-positive man and denies to get involved with him because he cannot stand to see him die eventually.

Unfortunately, Paul Rudnick remained too true to the play this movie is based on that his film fails to deliver. There are some hidden tracks in the forest, there are some memorable scenes and quotes, but that is all and nothing more. Some of the actors give knock-out performances (with Sigourney Weaver and Patrick Stuart most worth mentionable). Just a sappy, light-hearted, clear romantic comedy that did not lead us where it should have.
