Sorry, this movie sucks

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Well,I've been a big K.Sutherland fan for quite some time now and i am surprised that i missed this movie.Hadn't watched it so got it from a friend and watched it.I have to say that i was not expecting this kind of movie from him,Hats off to all the people involved in the making of the movie.The writer did a great job,then the direction was good,Actors were all terrific and the movie was able to create such a sweet drama that it kept me at the edge of my seat.Absolutely recommended to all K.Sutherland fans and to all those who like serious drama with good acting.I just have to say that i am a little disappointed to see the rating of this movie.It is absolutely under- rated..

I thought he was a wonderful man. The first time I met him, he told me I had the face of an angel. I worked for him at Bloomingdale's for Visage Beaute Cosmetics. He was very charming and had a dynamic personality. It was mesmorizing just looking at him. There were 10 of us girls working at the counter and we were all hopelessly devoted to Roy. I also met his partner, Kevin, he was a very nice man, as well. We did whatever we could to make his business a success and were instructed and coached to go out in the aisle of Bloomingdale's and grab women to come to our counter to try Visage. It was a really unique sales technique at the time. I watched this movie recently and I must say, Keifer Sutherland did a good job of portraying him, although I never saw this tougher side of Roy. I am glad that there is some sort of documentation to commemorate this very special man.

As a big Kiefer Sutherland fan, I have seen many of his movies and "Behind the Red Door" had have been one of the most touching, awesome performance I have ever seen.The story is about a gay man named Roy(Kiefer) who is infected with AIDS. He is very successful with a lot of money, a job he loves, friends and a sister Natalie(Kyra Sedgwig...please excuse the spelling). Through Roy's mood swings and need for much care and medication, his sister feels there is no way she can go back to her New York life and leave him, even though he does have a nurse that comes over to care for him. The story is very sad but great and realistic. It brought me to tears which I suppose was the intended feeling of the movie.The performances were phenomenal. As Roy grew weaker, Kiefer's acting grew stronger as well as Kyra's. Kiefer is a very talented and awesome actor and this movie definitely shows it.See this movie...a great tear-jerker, but a great story as well!!! 15 out of 10...it was that great!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see other peoples' review are like mine. I don't think enough people have seen this movie. It was great drama, Kiefer Sutherland's performance as a dying man - forcing a reconciliation with his sister,was wonderful. He always play tough so well, naturally he would be good as this forceful ad designer perfectionist who happens to be gay and has aids. What a complex character, he played it so well. All the characters were realistic, you feel something for all of them. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in complex yet simple story that reminds us how important family relationships are no matter how dysfunctional it may seem.
