CGiii Comment

In less than 1 minute...your tears will flow - without reserve.

Benjamin - a Jehovah's Witness...the fabric of his world is shredded beyond recognition.

Rasmus, a country boy...his world had become his oyster.

This is their love story.

We were all once...young, foolish, brave, impervious, impertinent, impetuous...and, for some - too many - who slipped through the net...it all came to an end - too soon.

Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves spans many lifetimes...from the young man born in 1963 who loved and died...to his lover who loved and survived...to the friends who had to cope...to their families who silently choked...

Beautifully constructed, perfectly played...both director and writer have done their respective professions proud...we...thank you.

A mighty and fine epitaph and testament - to lost loves - each and all.
