Handsome Devil

sigh

And what a find! Wow, terrific writing, nothing felt forced or cliched or absurd or disjointed or lamo, no this was pure original creative art just flowing and doing its thing, it felt nice. I don't know what else to say, but that I don't know nor care the first dang thing about rugby, but I found myself rooting for the gay team with the happy players lol, this was terrific! I would love to see more from this gentleman in Irish town? Wherever that is, who cares, does it matter, as long as Netflix or someone picks the gems up and delivers the goods to people that enjoy fun new creative things....

Very good film about everything literally. It's showing bullies, boarding school hazing rules, people's choice who they want to be. A little bit propaganda like at the ending where almost all team supported those 2(gay couple). The ending was pretty good still missed at least 1 kiss between them.

Many good reviews. Don't get it. Is a bad movie. Simple story. Slow. Meh! I like gay themed movies, but there are sooooo many better movies than this one.

I loved this film. I went to a rugby school in Ireland in the 1960s but wasn't any good at rugby myself. I'm gay too but back then it was something to keep quiet about., A lot of people have assumed that the character, Ned, is gay. In fact the film never makes clear whether he is or not (this was confirmed by the director). I loved how Fionn O'Shea played the character. He may have been picked on for being different but he wasn't a shrinking violet and verbally gave as good as he got. I also marveled at how Nicholas Galitzine, a young English actor, got the middle class south Dublin accent so right. The rugby scenes are as authentic as any you will see in a movie.The director used Leinster under 19 players. I met him at a festival and he told me that they assembled them for the filming of the rugby scenes but hadn't told them who the choreographer was going to be. They were both gobsmacked and delighted when it turned out to be Brian O'Driscoll (for those unfamiliar with rugby he is widely regarded as Ireland's greatest ever rugby player - his wife played Ned's mother in the film). As others have noted the upbeat ending was really necessary in this film.
