Seat in Shadow
Young Ben is having boyfriend troubles again, so his grandma introduces him to Albert, an eccentric Glasgow painter who doubles as an unconventional, Jung-inspired psychotherapist. But their therapy sessions end up revealing as much about Albert as they do about Ben in this twisted, sexual comedy. Filmed on location in Glasgow, "Seat In Shadow" is the debut feature from writer/ director Henry Coombes. The film received its world premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival and also played Berlin International Film Festival and BFI Flare. This is a witty study of social mores and sexual excess where the boundaries between doctor and patient, artist and muse become increasingly blurred.

Review: I am used to seeing Robin Williams being a comic genius in his movies but in this film, there isn't a touch of comedy at all. He plays a happily married man called Nolan Mack, who has worked in a bank for many years, and is due for a promotion, to run his own branch. One night when he is driving home, he picks up at male, street prostitute, Leo (Roberto Aguire), and after spending one night with the teenager, he soon becomes his regular pick up. Nolan ends up falling for Leo, and whilst constantly lying to his wife, Joy (Kathy Baker), about his whereabouts, he spends various nights in a hotel with Leo. When Leo's pimp, Eddie (Giles Matthey) starts to demand money from his worker, Leo turns to Nolan for the money, which he reluctantly gives him. The relationship soon turns sour once Nolan realises that he has been used by Leo, which costs him his job and his relationship with his wife. The movie seemed very basic, with average performances from the cast but there are some emotional scenes. Williams seemed a bit out of his comfort zone, mainly because he was restricted in many ways but it was good to see that he could cover different genres, and still put in a decent performance. The main problem that I found with the movie was that it was very slow and it seemed more depressing than entertaining. It would have been nice to see Williams final movie being a comedy, because he is known for his brilliant sense of humour and quick wit jokes, which is why I think this film failed at the box office. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Dito Montiel, 51, who brought you. A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints in 2006, Fighting, The Son Of No One, Empire State and Man Down. He certainly has worked with some A-list actors, like Al Pacino, Robert Downey Jr., The Rock and Channing Tatum but all of his movies have been mediocre. This film felt more like a TV movie, in my opinion, and I personally think that there wasn't enough elements to keep the movie interesting. People didn't really flock to the cinema when this movie was released, which was surprising after his sad passing in August 2014. I'm glad that he will be remembered for his comedy, and the fact that he made everyone around the world laugh, at some point in there life. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $128,000 I recommend this movie to people who are into their dramas, starring Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, Roberto Aguire, Giles Matthey, Eleonore Hendricks and Bob Odenkirk. 3/10

Although there is some authenticity to this film, there are some things I question; e.g. did the hustler really have a pimp who beat him up?But, I wonder if Robin Williams was gay, and this film appealed to him and his gay desires, so he took a stab at romance. I wonder, too, if Robin's suicide may have been related to his desire not to come out of the closet.There have been rumors of Robin being gay, and his funny denials: 'Williams added, "I'm a big fan of the puss. Always addicted to puss. Came from one".' which was in the pink news in 2006.There are people who claim they slept with Robin, the above article continued: 'He told GQ magazine he has never considered gay encounters, "There are many websites that'll go, 'Oh, he's gay, I know he's gay.' Even our chef, who's gay, was at a gay ski lodge, and some guy came up to him and said, 'Robin Williams is gay.' He goes, 'No, he isn't.' 'Oh, I know he is… I know people who've been with him.' They should tell me, because I don't remember."'The moments of sexual immaturity reminds me of some videos about the legal prostitution in Nevada, where a woman talks about newbies who show up and want to take them from that life (which the women don't want, since they claim to make $200k a year). But Robin in this movie acts the same in wanting to take the young hustler out of "that life". Although, Robin's sexual jealousy at another john sleeping with his hustler seems beyond naive for a 60-year old who works at a bank, and knows that the kid can't afford a place on the few hundred that Robin gives him.I would like to hear other opinions. Especially since now that Robin Williams is dead, we will not be libeling him.In case you're scared of defaming the dead, a source notes : "The dead have no cause of action for defamation under the common law, and neither do their survivors, unless the words independently reflect upon and defame the survivors. " Judge Robert Sack, the author of one of the two leading treatises on libel, from the rights of writers ]

-Boulevard is a 2014 American drama film directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe. The film stars Robin Williams in his final on-screen role, Bob Odenkirk, Kathy Baker, Giles Matthey, Roberto Aguire and J. Karen Thomas. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20, 2014. The film was released on July 10, 2015 in a limited release by Starz Digital.-Though Boulevard was released shortly after Williams' death, Soesbe said that he did not see Williams display the depression on set that ultimately led to his suicide. He recalled, "I will testify that when he made this film, a year and two months before he took his life, he was not depressed. He was really into that role and if anything, he was really in character. He was looking forward to his TV series and he talked about his family and his pets and he was funny. I picked none of this up. He's very shy and it's difficult sometimes to penetrate the shyness, which you wouldn't expect from him. But I didn't pick up the depression at all.--Reception: -Boulevard received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 50%, based on 36 reviews, with a rating of 5.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Boulevard features a richly layered performance from Robin Williams, but that may be this dour drama's sole distinctive feature." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". IGN awarded the film a score of 7.0 out of 10, saying "It doesn't offer Williams doing any truly brilliant bits of comedy, nor is it a role that is destined to be iconic, but it fits."

A Outstanding performance by Robin Williams. It's touchy and passionate. "A old age man stuck in his life which he never wanted to live meets a youngster. Living with wife whom he loves but due to social nonacceptance of gay people hides his true self from society and family. The attraction and love towards the youngster makes him to realizes the true self of him. A point comes where everything is known to his wife and unable to continue his old life he parts way with his wife and starts living the life he wanted." Movie lacks a bit of screenplay and gets stretched but however the performance of Robin Williams keeps you hooked on to it. A Must watch movie.
