Critic Reviews

Don't be too quick to jump on Hurt with complaints of old-fashioned gay stereotyping. Only with a development well into the movie will the audience realize the layers he brought to Molina's role-playing.Full Review

Bob Graham
San Francisco Chronicle

Leonard Schrader adapted the screenplay from the novel by Manuel Puig, and his fearless willingness to explore every corner of human nature serves what is greatest and sweetest in the performances of William Hurt and Raul Julia.Full Review

F. X. Feeney
L.A. Weekly

Tells one of those rare and entrancing stories where one thing seems to happen while another thing is really happening.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Each man winds up owing the other -- and the enormity of the sacrifices they make on one another's behalf are quite moving and have not been duplicated in the movies since.Full Review

Jami Bernard
New York Daily News

Some will find him (Hurt) mesmerizing, others artificially lowkeyed.Full Review
