Bruce C. Steele OutWeek 05/20/2020
The despoiling of an Innocent boy by a lecherous older man Is only the beginning of the march of gay stereotypes. Go to Full Review Glenn Dunks Junkee 02/09/2016
While there's something to be said about the era in which it was made, there's no doubt Michael Thornhill's film would never see the light of day today given how repulsive its representation of gay men is. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/09/2013 Of course it looks so awkward by watching a film made in 20-something years ago. Still, it was one bold piece for a story like this even for standard today. See more 01/10/2011 Not impressed at all. Waste of time. See more 12/06/2010 Based on a real life Australian Politician (apparently), rumour has it an ex Prime Minister no less!! Well my family was never like this! See more 09/24/2010 Weird but entertaining See more 07/27/2010 Makes Mommie Dearest look like the very model of artistic restraint. If you love absurd camp TRASH, then you should be watching this movie this very moment. If you like your movies--How can I put this? Good.--if you like your movies good, then this one is not for you. See more 01/21/2010 One of those obscure films that I saw all those years ago, and would like to see again. See more Read all reviews
