‘Love Is Strange’ movie review: Gay romantic drama is ‘beautiful in every way’ (photo: John Lithgow and Alfred Molina in ‘Love Is Strange’) Love Is Strange is beautiful in every way that a film can be beautiful, and unabashedly so. Yet, despite its willingness to gild the lily for love of ethereal, aesthetic beauty in all its forms, it is a film that reaches for the truth — the deepest truths of what we often call “the human condition.” For all these reasons I love Ira Sachs’ movie as much as it wishes we would love each other. I love the artistry of it. I love what it has to say and that it’s something seldom said. I love that it is forgiving. Without hyperbole, I tell you that Love Is Strange is the stuff of Jean-Luc Godard (Notre Musique and In Praise of Love), Vittorio De Sica (Umberto D....

There was a time when two veteran straight actors such as John Lithgow and Alfred Molina, taking on the roles of a gay couple and their subsequent travails at married life would have been the tabloid equivalent of shock and awe. It still might raise some eyebrows, but Ira Sachs’ Love Is Strange is a testimony to societal progress in terms of storytelling. Now it will face the box office as the Specialty title platforms this weekend via Sony Classics. A real-life gay marriage takes the spotlight this weekend courtesy of Starz Digital doc To Be Takei about the multi-faceted actor/activist and social media talent who is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu in TV’s original Star Trek. It will be joined by Millennium Entertainment’s Are You Here with Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis and Amy Poehler which will open day and date by Mad Men writer Matthew Weiner.

Who was best dressed in your book last night?
I’m usually used to seeing Angelina Jolie either dressed down or on a movie set, so when a big premiere or promotional appearance is coming up I get excited to see her stroll down the red carpet. However, while she looked white hot in Mexico, Angie was back to her infamous slew of little black dresses last night in La for the Salt premiere. Don’t get me wrong, I think her sexy strapless sequin Emporio Armani and nude Ferragamo pumps was a fun choice for the red carpet, but her overall look just didn’t do it for me — hopefully she pulls out more color and gets glam for the rest of her appearances!
Naomi Watts, on the other hand, really stepped up her style game last night. Angie, take a cue from the blonde star — now this is...
