CGiii Comment
Said to be the best gay movie of all time...by whom?!
Sherwood had AIDS and this was regarded as a highly personal film - and it is...but, that is not necessarily a good thing.
Stereotypes, cliches by the score...and, gratuitous kissing - pollute the story.
In the company of so many disagreeable characters - Parting Glances is a marathon of tolerance.
But, it is important...even though it is wholly unlikeable.

As Michael and Robert, a gay couple in New York, prepare for Robert's departure for a two-year work assignment in Africa, Michael must face Robert's true motives for leaving while dealing with their circle of eccentric friends, including Nick, who is living with AIDS.
