Reviews for Bent
The screen version of Sherman's noted play about homosexuals in Nazi Germany shows that tyro director Sean Mathias doesn't know much about film for his erratic approach and inconsistent style bring out the play's weaknesses rather than strengths.
brave, brilliantly effective movie which has the added bonus of a crinkled Mick Jagger singing in drag while swinging from a ceiling.
Tired of gay rights movies and Holocaust flicks? This is both, but it still enthralls.
Stylized yet substantive drama about the plight of homosexuals in the Holocaust.
