This feels like Netflix redoing it decently enough, with slick clothes and better catering, because they might as well.

Despite its origins, Mantello's film still feels like another shiny, highly consumable product of what could be called "the Murphyverse".

The Boys in the Band isn't always good, but it's a good time.

Mantello takes the camera's advantages as they come, zooming in to capture the kind of intimacies and small gestures only film allows.
