To paraphrase a line from Harvey Fierstein in "Torch Song Trilogy", when you enter into a relationship that you know deep down inside is going to fail (as they all too often do), and when it does you end up burning black candles at midnight, well, you got what you were asking for.
All that being said, I did in fact enjoy this film immensely, it's highly entertaining and it brought back many fond memories.
I must laud with great enthusiasm, Patrick Stewart's portrayal of "Sterling"; IMHO this is one of Mr. Stewarts finest screen roles.
At long last, he permits himself to let go of that "storm clouds on the horizon" approach to drama which can be a tad overbearing; in "Jeffrey" we're treated to a truly refreshing revelation of the full scope of his acting abilities ranging from camp to grief but without any of the hamminess that a lesser actor would fall prey to.
Also, in this case an all star cast is worth it's weight in gold; how could you say no to the likes of Kathy Najimi, Victor Garber, Christine Baranski, Olympia Dukakis and the list goes on and on.
Perhaps there are those of us who prefer the (very) angry Larry Kramer viewpoint on the AIDS pandemic, in which case I recommend something with real pitbull bite such as "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington or "Longtime Companion" with Bruce Davison and Mary-Louise Parker.
I'm a great fan of Mary-Louise Parker who is equally brilliant as "Harper Pitt" in the Mike Nichols HBO production of "Angels in America".
I feel that this classic of a melodrama should be required viewing for all U.S. public high school students seeking graduation. Nothing is held back about how HIV and AIDS affected and still affects not only the gay/lesbian communities, but globally.
The character Jeffrey played exceptionally well by "Wings" co-star Weber, ponders daily, and nightly about possibilities that all of us face sometimes in our lives. That is understood by reading just the cover of the movie.
I find the subplot of the feelings of the POZ character Steve, the hunk, pardon my feelings for a moment, but I can really relate to Steve, but not for the obvious reasons. He is different from other guys, I am too, and just like Steve, dancing alone again to music in his flat, we feel the sense of loneliness that comes with a price of being the different one from every one else!
But is he really different, am I really different??? This is the dilemma that comes out. Only Jeffrey sees him as different, it seems that everyone else looks beyond the obvious and sees a caring, loving, really HOT guy. Well I'm not all that, but it pulls on my heart strings to see him alone dancing in the dark to music he has probably heard a hundred times over. So one wonders through the movie whether or not they will get together or even just have a good kiss at the least......
So, is this movie really about Jeffrey, or Steve, or is it about people like me (and you) who sometimes wonder if we are the different ones. For me this is a delightfully funny tear-jerker: yes have the tissues ready. I highly recommend this masterpiece!
Steven Weber is a gay man who is tired of having sex ruined by "safe". He loves sex, but all of the preparations have spoiled the enjoyment and he swears off sex forever. Since the Gods like a good laugh, they put Steve (Michael T. Weiss) in his path and you can see the sparks flying from the moment they meet. But this temptation does not convince our hero to give up his no-sex lifestyle, that job belongs to Sterling & Darius (Patrick Stewart and Bryan Batt).
Of course Steve is HIV+ which completely freaks out Jeffrey. And why shouldn't it? This was every gay man's fear at the time and a not-insubstantial fear in the straight community too. Jeffrey comes to terms with the fact he has let his fear not only ruin his life, but made him act like a jerk to everyone around him. Finally coming to terms with his fear and seeing that it is ruling his life, Jeffrey makes a decision to face his fears and continue living ... and loving.
Top reviews from other countries
To add a historical context: AIDS hit the USA hard in 1980 and the impact on the gay community was terrifying and tremendous. For the next twenty plus years, the papers were filled with stories of celebrities and community icons coming out and/or dropping dead from the disease. We didn't have AZT until 1987, and even then it wasn't particularly effective. There wasn't a real medical breakthrough until 1996 (and the film comes out in 1995). So please remember, it's not quite as simple in Jeffrey's world to "just wear a condom" (and please, condoms do break and there are technically other ways to transmit the disease). Please remember there was real fear and danger and stigma attached to the virus in the early 90's. The first case of someone being CURED was not until 2007, so it is only in recent years that being HIV-positive was not an automatic death sentence.
This film is particularly important because it used comedy to broach what was a very difficult subject -- and at the time, the arts were producing brilliant stories about AIDS that were deeply depressing and full of mourning. "Jeffrey" belongs in the LGBTIQ canon: it uses personal stories to offer an important snapshot of a challenging time in our cultural history. It helps us celebrate and better appreciate the medical breakthroughs that now, thankfully, offer a different experience for those who are affected by the virus today.
