that close up of clive's beautiful face. the camera slowly pans out. you realise his head is leaning on someone's thigh. further out. a man's thigh. further, a hand runs through his perfect oxford haircut. maurice's hand, maurice's thigh. the sexy creak of the wicker chair.…

maurice is one of my favorite films because it isn't afraid to exist within duplicities. it is delicate and messy, heartbreaking and joyous, precise and passionate. i love every second. something i noticed on this viewing is the film's theme of what is natural vs. what is…

So good. I saw quite a lot of people say that they liked Clive and didn’t like Alec. No! I got over Clive quickly honestly xd. I love Hugh Grand sm, I watched it for him and he portrayed it so well, but that character got controlling and I wished someone better for Maurice…

I liked the first hour, but the second felt unnecessary. The movie is too long, and it’s monotonous, which makes it boring and kind of a torture to sit through. (But the actor of clive looks good)

"I'm thankful it's into your hands I fell." why does every gay movie I've ever watched has to be sad...

He was the eight friend he called. The eighth friend… At the beginning of the movie, I thought nothing could be better than Maurice and Clive. The way their gaze lingered on one another and the way they exposed their deepest inner thoughts to one another. But when Alec arrived and made that…

I think it’s a very sweet and cute movie, but ending with a little disappointing, and it was more truth than it was fantasy because those things do happen in real life at that time but I still wish we could’ve gotten a really cute ending with them. But wasn’t expecting to see pp

And when you wake up next to her in the middle of the night, with your head in your hands you’re nothin’ more than her hus-band And when you think about me all of those years ago, you’re standing face to face with “I told you so”, you know I hate to say it but I told you so.
