This film is so incredibly boring and not believable at all. Don't understand the high ratings at all. It is torture to sit through. "Show me a happy homosexual and I'll show you a dead corpse." It's the line at the end of the play, that summarizes what the story is really about: if you're okay with being gay, and you don't care what others think, prepare to die (keep in mind, it's 1968.
When I saw the film in the 1970s (with the great Laurence Lunkinbill) I was too close to the subject matter to get it. Now, with objective distance it was clear. A bunch of guys, with wildly different coping mechanisms for being queer- get together for a birthday celebration. Their differences clash (more catch fire) as they take great pains to disapprove of each other.
At one end of the spectrum, you have those which loudly and blatantly resent society's demands that they stay in the closet (e.g. Emory, masterfully played by Robin de Jesus. The other extreme are those that believe survival means acting and looking as straight as possible (e.g., Hank, wonderfully played by Tuc Watkins who delivers the most authentic performance in the film. Though these two camps are quite opposite in how they cope, they share one thing in common: they accept being homosexual. Ah, but then there are those in the middle, such as Larry (Andre Rannells) that find themselves rejected by both camps (much like bi-racial people used to be treated. The guys that fall in the middle often hate themselves (e.g., Michael, played by veteran actor Jim Parsons) but usually prefer to be quiet and as invisible as possible (Donald, played by Matt Bomer. Then you have the guy who sits at the top of the heap, who is above the struggle, who gets it, but isn't any happier, Harold (played by an incredible Zachery Quinto.
There are no role models, there's no Harvey Milk, no leader in 1960s gay America and as a result we have a hot mess. It's not an era older gays want to be reminded of, but what the hell, Joe Mantello reminds us of where we've come from. I'm glad things of changed. That was a messed-up era.
My only disappointment from a film that was wonderfully directed by Joe Mantello (and superbly acted) it didn't really address the big flaw, namely story integrity. One watches these guys and can't help but wonder why people that can't stand each other are friends, and why some of them even remain at this party (today, half of them would have left. The answer is that they are simply stuck with each other. This sad situation could have been played more subtly, but Mantello pretty much directed the film of 1970, just different actors, leaving me with the question: why remake a film if you're not going to try something new.

How amazing it is that this story is basically about "What was it to be a Gay Man back in the 1968's" and it is still relavant to us in Year 2020. Coz, this talks about much more than that!
Thank you Ryan Murphy!
Best Part:
1. The Ensamble cast: Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Charlie Carvaer, Robin De Jesus, Brian Hutchison, Micheal B Washington, Tuc Watkins. All of them were fantastic.Everyone one got their respective shining moment in the film.
2. Dialogues: They were funny, mean, metaphorical, dramatic and what not! This is a dialogue driven film, and the dialogues keep you engaging.
, Screenplay and Narrative: The way you can see, how one hell of a "funny-happy-dancing" Birthday party gets turned into a "Dark-dramtic-realistic" aka one of the worst party ever. This transition is amazing!
4. Authenticity: The overall look, costumes, art design, cinematography, everything was perfect.
5. Songs/Sound Tracks The songs during the film were so beautifully and smartly chosen and they just adds up to the flavor of overall narrative.
I wish the ending was more powerful. but overall it was a great film. I could write a thesis on it lol
My Fav Scenes:
1. When Larry (Played by Andrew) pours his heart out during the calling game.
2. When Micheal (Played by Jim) brakes down in the end. 3. When Emory (Played by Robin) teaches everyone dance in the party
Summary: A journey of "Happy-Fun-Comic" to "Dark-Sob-Drama" Birthday Party Ever 9/10.
