Handsome Harry Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
Jennie Yabroff
... it's nice to see men even acknowledging the fact that they are no more impervious to the effects of time than women, and far preferable to watching actors seeming not to notice that their female costars are now young enough to be their granddaughters.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Angst-ridden didactic guy's film about the fear of being gay if one doesn't act manly.
America Magazine
John Anderson
While Bette Gordon may be a filmmaker of daring and a painterly hand, the eternal truths of Handsome Harry are finally what hold us.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...works best as an actor's showcase...
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
I don't think Clint Eastwood would cast himself as a gay man, but it's easy to imagine an alternate movie universe in which Eastwood not only plays the title role but is the director of this earnest yet unstrident drama...
The Hollywood Reporter
Luke Sader
Sheridan (who also produced) is well cast as the good-looking, rugged Harry, and his performance is certainly adequate.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Like any low-budget production, Handsome Harry has some shakily staged scenes and erratic acting, but it also has wonderful moments...
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
David has honed this script for 30 years, and every word he utters is momentous. Handsome Harry transcends its somewhat melodramatic narrative.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Even with its forced dialogue and dramatically artificial set pieces, "Handsome Harry" has a certain integrity--thanks primarily to Jamey Sheridan's committed performance--that keeps you involved.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Bette Gordon's film is that rarity these days, an American film which deals with mature characters facing life and the choices they've made, possessed of uncommon intelligence and subtlety.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
A unique story of love and regret...Exquisitely acted by an exceptional cast.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Each of its miserable characters, especially Mr. Savage's Rheems, is a case study in a film that hits you like a strident polemical essay.
Queer Sighted
Alonso Duralde
Gay audiences -- and probably straight ones -- will see the twists coming from a mile away, but a cast this strong makes the trip worth taking anyway.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
While it jumps the rails at a couple of different points dramatically, Handsome Harry keeps winning you back because of Jamey Sheridan's performance.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The story quietly builds to a rueful and fraught climax in which Campbell Scott does his usual exceptional work, while Harry absorbs some hard lessons.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Gordon's way with actors and with screen storytelling is as impeccable as ever.
L.A. Weekly
Michelle Orange
In Gordon's films, eros' capacity to disturb and disrupt is celebrated as its greatest quality.
Observer
Rex Reed
With Handsome Harry, the widely respected independent filmmaker Bette Gordon has hit a bull's eye.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
Gordon and Proferes detail their protagonist with authentically complex fleshtones, but splash on each new revealing coat with a jarring lack of finesse.
