Audience Member Corny & cheesy, almost unbearable. Its musical numbers are really wonderful however. Israeli Cinema (or TV series)'s open, easy & comfortable attitude towards similar subjects should be highly appreciated. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Itâ(TM)s a long time since Iâ(TM)ve been so thoroughly and positively surprised by a movie. A 150 minute musical about a young gay man coming of age, Israeli pop songs, flat cinematography and oh so many drag queens and their show numbers. Thatâ(TM)s what âMary Louâ? is, and thatâ(TM)s why I thought I would hate it. But I didnâ(TM)t. Because underneath all the clumsy execution and all the endless clichà (C)s there is a script that kicks ass. The story is structured beautifully, delivering surprise after surprise while still keeping it all plausible. âMary Louâ? also truly works as a coming of age film, bringing a young manâ(TM)s quest for a mother who deserted him to the surface forcefully and honestly. Truly touching stuff. And even as the cinematic elements limb and the pop music refuses to offer variety, the acting stays top notch. If âfabulous gay musicalsâ? can be like this, I think I might have to say goodbye to my prejudice against them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
