This
absolute winner, based on a stage play by Jonathan Harvey and adapted by
him, is a kind of enchanted, urban slice-of-life tale about a gay teen,
Jamie (Glen Berry), who is in love with the boy next door, Ste (Scott
Neal). Hampering Jamie's progress on the romantic front is his fear that
his mother (Linda Henry) will find out, as well as concern over
complicating Ste's existing problems. Beautiful Thing is a
relationship movie, to be sure, but that description doesn't really
describe the buoyant tone of this British television production.
Democratic in its inclusive regard for each character (whether
camera-pretty or not), the film--well-directed by Hettie Macdonald--is
full of surprises. Chief among them is the terrific personality of
Jamie's mum, a strong and independent woman who truly worries over and
adores her son. But this is a movie involved in a kind of happy dialogue
with itself: the tunes of
Mama Cass, for instance, play a part in both the story and overall
ambience, while a strategic placement of the Rodgers and Hammerstein
chestnut "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" during an act of love is fun and
exciting. --Tom Keogh
