There is a shower scene where Bo and Kim get lathered up and have a bit of fun but nothing too overt. The emphasis in this film is the tender and mutual relationship that develops between the boys.

Kim and Bo decide to come out and show the rest of the school and Kim's parents a video they made about thier relationship that concludes with a long and passionate kissing scene.

A woderful and delicately made coming of age film that is done tastefully. The emphasis in this film is on the mutual and tender relationship between Kim and Bo. A must for your collection if you can get hold of a copy.

Struggles to find direction. (Rating: 3.00)
Review : This movie is fairly watchable, but it lacks any real plot and is a bit disjointed. Although the main focus is on the love between two boys, there is very little beyond a few lustful glances, until the end scene where they share a long kiss. This kiss, however, is unconvincing, never shown in close up, and the boys seem unable to find each others mouths.

There is some incidental nakedness, and the actors are pleasant enough to watch, but when the movie is over you tend to wonder what it was all about.

However, it is a good time filler and captures the feel of the 1970s.

A Joyous Celebration (Rating: 4.00)
Review : It has been years since I saw this quite competent and surprisingly delightful fiim at the movies. Others here have gone into the plot and brief nudity in the film.

This film was widely acclaimed by the then usually homophobic press. I decided to see it after watching a t.v. show with Charles Champlin, former film critic of the L.A. Times. He was impressed with the simplicity and honesty of
"You Are Not Alone" and so was I and several gay friends I saw it with.

While certainly not a masterpiece, it is an excellent film. Few films then or since have captured the exhilarating joyous feeling of rebellious freedom on "coming out" that the climatic scene in this does.

It was very much a fantasy ending then as it is now. But, I believe such celebrations of liberation can and do happen.

"You Are Not Alone" is quite worthy of everyone's attention.

If you can see it, do so. Most won't be disappointed.
