Fortunately the LGBT community finds much more visibility and acceptance today. This production clearly depicts self-loathing, repression and invisibility felt by some in the sixties. A good period piece with some light moments, but still very sad.
I think it is always a million-dollar question about how to make make a great movie based on a play. Theatre plays and movies are totally different. While plays are focusing on using the scripts and words for showing the emotions, movies are different. This movie is not as entertaining as the actual play, also it might be a better idea to make some changes of the play to make it more a movie. I read the screenplay which was published in book form decades ago-maybe in the mid-seventies-and recall finding it depressing.
Just finished watching this new Netflix film and must comment on the terrific casting and production-the clothing and set design were as "spot on" as possible, but more importantly the acting was superb. Each character was distinct and believable. The setting was close and intimate, but not claustrophobic. In revisiting this drama decades after first reading the screenplay, I would describe it as sad, rather than depressing.
