I'll Love You Forever... Tonight

Saw this film (the director's cut) about 14 years ago in a theater and was impressed with the performances and story. It is a story about bittersweet redemption and the journey one takes to resolve their past while dealing with their present.

Gay or straight, man or woman, you are drawn to these flawed characters as their needs for love are like everyone else. The story and characters have a haunting ring of truth about the patterns we repeat over and over in our own relationships.

Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see great performances and a realistic story.

I just saw this movie for the 2nd time.I forgot I already saw it before after I rented it.Unfortunately I could only find it on VHS.I'm not sure if it's been released on DVD but if not i'm not sure why.I liked how it was done in black and white.I agree with what another person said about this movie,that it is realistic.I agree and even though it was slow at times,may be boring to some,I thought it was a nice and fun film.The conversation between Ethan(the photographer) and his estranged father was well acted.You could really hear and feel how awkward it was for the two of them.The strong language and confrontations later in it while they were all supposed to enjoy themselves at Palm Springs was a nice twist.This movie reminded me of older gay cinema.It was a simple drama that didn't involve another story about aids. I hope this movie does get released to DVD one day!

A film from 1992 where (some) gay folks are treated with some level of respect by the director. A rarity, in those days. This one was written and directed by edgar bravo, his first film. Couples from los angeles spend time in palm springs, and it all hits the fan. It's complicated. Jealousy. New boyfriends. Old boyfriends. A hustler. It was good to see the familiar mountains and palm trees as the backdrop; too bad we didn't see which resort they stayed at. Or maybe they never left LA to film. One of the characters had a horrible childhood, and wants to discuss it with his father, but we're not told exactly what happened. No discussion of hiv/aids, which were so prevalent in the early 1990s. But on the plus side, none of the gay characters were knocked off simply for being gay. Filmed in black and white, to give it the extra gritty feel. The new, white, seven digit california license plates start with a 2! It really was made in the 1990s. It's mostly good. Script needed souping up...it felt like they were trying to recreate the carefree, footloose days of the 1970s,1980s. Not bad for a first effort.

Glad I found it. This movie is realistic. There are so many things going in other people's lives (heads) that you don't always know what their intents are. Sometimes you can't have who you want and the people you put off might be good for you. Plenty happens to Ethan in this weekend episode of his life. He gets screwed in more than one way. He's mild mannered, hurting underneath, but he has a brain. A keeper.

Perhaps in 1992, to be a "gay" movie AND in black and white was a sign of cutting edge. Sorry, this movie went nowhere very slowly with a protagonist who barely talked throughout the movie and annoying tertiary characters who hardly related to each other. Yes, the main character is sympathetic by being disregarded by the public at large, but have something HAPPEN to him, please.

Thomas Jane in an unrecognizable walk-on is not worth the price of admission, and it took forever to realize that this was one of those movies that wasn't going to "end" - no resolution, just walking down the street. It wasn't ATROCIOUS, so I gave it a 3
