Top CriticYes, we've heard the tale before, but somehow it just never gets stale: Welcome to another instalment of Romeo and Romeo.

Top CriticShore and Wilde have done an admirable job in re-imagining Wilde's play as a movie, and they've created a wrenching, thoughtful entertainment that incorporates considerable comic relief.

Top CriticGet Real is a sweet-natured coming-out comedy from England that seems to be coming out about 10 years too late.

Top CriticWilde's script, which has a weakness for mild, snickering double entendres, is notable for its near-total reliance on archetypes.

Top CriticIn Steven, John, and their friends, Shore gives us individuals worth caring about in situations we can all relate to, regardless of our sexual orientation.

Top CriticThe movie is sound in all the right ways; it argues that we are as we are, and the best thing to do is accept that.
