From NetFlix:
For many years, small-town resident Harry Sweeney (Jamey Sheridan) has avoided confronting painful memories from his past. But when his best friend becomes seriously ill, Harry builds up enough courage to explore long-hidden secrets and uncover his true identity. Bette Gordon directs this character-driven drama that boasts a strong ensemble cast featuring Steve Buscemi, Aidan Quinn, John Savage and Campbell Scott.
Very soon into this film you discover that it is a gay-themed film. But more than that, it is a film about an old betrayal and how that wrongful act has over the course of 20 years eaten away at the lives of five men:
- Harry Sweeney played by Jamey Sheridan (whom we see almost weekly as Captain James Deakins on Law and Order: Criminal Intent).
- Thomas Kelley played by Steve Buscemi (who plays Lenny Wosniak on 30 Rock).
- Prof. Porter played by Aidan Quinn (who played John Miller in Third Watch).
- Peter Rheems played by John Savage (who ?)
- Gebhart played by Titus Welliver (who plays Glen Childs in The Good Wife)
Cambell Scott plays the victim David Kagan. Scott played Father George Hibbert in Saint Ralph.
Kelley’s wife is played by Jayne Atkinson who plays Erin Strauss in Criminal Minds.
Some small amount of gay sexual activity may put this out of bounds for children.
If you have any strong reaction to the ending, please let me know.
