the audience applauded

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Jeffrey is the story of a gay man decides to give up sex to avoid AIDS but meets the hunk of his dreams. The film is unrelentingly dark, both in camera action and in storyline. From an artistic standpoint, there were plot elements and character developments I didn't think were needed; they do, however, drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose. Weber, Weiss and Stewart give Oscar-worthy performances. It will bring you to tears and make you laugh. It's the kind of film that proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. This film was nearly perfect, but sadly still not made for everyone. It's an important film, as well as very entertaining.

Have to say that I felt sick after watching this film.....one big fat fluffy mess. Its just jumping on the band wagon of the caring 90's "fad" of political correctness. Not even Sigourney Weaver could save this celluloid abomination. What a waste of time. It was disturbing to see elderly parents discussing gay saunas with their son....Im not a puritan at all....but it was just stupid and not even funny. The actor playing jeffrey...whoa..... was one of the worst performance I've ever seen !....I was told by a friend who is HIV positive that he actually walked out of this film at a screening 15 minutes into it because it was so agitating. I decided to hire it and see for myself why so many people, mostly gay, say that this is the worst movie they have ever seen.....now I know. Watch "The boys in the Band" (not really AIDS related) and "The Band Played On" (AIDS related) if you want to see something thats decent and at least watchable. Avoid this one....Im sure the director gets embarrassed when he looks back and realises what a mess this stupid film was.

This was a very well thought out, film and one that deals with a tough subject quite soft-heartedly, but at the same time giving it the gravity that it requires. The acting I found to be very good, with convincing performances all round and great kudos to those who took part.This film is IMMENSELY funny and had me in stitches,something that has not happened in a long time! I would recommend the film for that quality alone, however the fact that interwoven in the humour are also some very hard hitting scenes, the death of Darius and the attempted queer bashing for example, to name but two. Both scenes make one think what one might do in that situation, especially the queer bashing scene. What would I say if in that situation, the pain resulting of saying the truth or the pain of not admitting it? A thoroughly enjoyable film, I recommend it very much to fans of this genre! A real gem!

Just saw Jeffrey and it was absolutely brilliant, to see straight guys playing a gay part and being totally cool with it. now I must say that I'm a bit of a Weiss fan and he looked absolutely fabulous. If you want to see a good movie about some gay guys this is the one! LOVED IT!
