The hustler was the only normal character

The main characters were just so pathetic! I mean just sad human beings all around that I felt such pity for them.

Williams character wastes his whole life denying who he is and at age 60 decides to start creeping on a 20 something hustler. Now I can get if he was just paying for sex, but when he begins to try forcing some kind of romantic, emotional attachment, it was just a pathetic and uncomfortable display to watch.

It's no wonder the hustler cleaned out his pad and got the hell out of dodge! I would have too if I were a 20 year old hustler, which I am not. (But wish I was...well, the 20 year old part at least.)

And that wife. Oh did I want to slap her silly! It was apparent towards the end of the film that she knew this man was gay 25 years ago when she married him, and still settled for that kind of empty life.

Then she has the gall to be upset when that train finally comes to run over her when he acknowledges who he is and wants to leave. This woman was living her entire life in a state of ignorance and denial...and still wanted it to continue even after he came out! Pathetic!

She struck me as someone who is SO terrified of being alone, that she'll want to stay with a gay husband rather than the alternative. How sad.

As a whole, it was a good little film though. A bit too depressing, but I like films like that once in a while. Not everything needs to have quick MTV cuts, loud explosions, and shiny things to keep me watching.

Quiet little films like this is nice to see and Williams gave a very good, subdued performance. I loved him so much more in dramatic roles than his comedic ones.
And although the story lines are completely different, this kind of reminded me of "Enough Said" with Julia Louis Dreyfus as both films were similar in style, and both had pathetic main characters.
