Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Dan Harden Boulevard marks the last feature film role for the late great Robin Williams. In this film, Williams plays 60 year old banker Nolan, who lives with his wife and a secret. The secret being that Nolan is gay and has been living a lie until he meets Leo, a homosexual prostitute to which Nolan almost runs over and starts conversing with. This encounter results in Nolan forming a strong emotional connection to Leo which eventually motivates him to come out and finally be himself.You can't watch this film and review it without talking about Robin William's touching performance as Nolan Mack. The sensitivity and subtly of Williams makes Nolan someone you deeply care and root for. The film also contains a decent supporting cast with good performances from Kathy Baker and Bob Odenkirk and a fairly moderate one from Roberto Aguire. But most importantly, William's final performance is a satisfying one, almost like the cherry on the top of the metaphoric cake that is Robin William's career.The films message is great, as Bob Odenkirk puts it at the films close "maybe it's never too late to start living the life you really want." This hopeful message the film delivers is both important on the grand scheme of things, as it as to Robin Willaims fans, giving a sense of hope after the actors untimely demise.The relationship between Nolan and his wife Joy was executed constantly well by director Dito Montiel, making their separation from one another abundantly clear in almost every scene they share. On the other hand I was unsure as to the relationship between Nolan and Leo. Its clear through Robin Williams endearing performance that Nolan feels deeply for Leo but I couldn't get a reading on Leo's feelings towards Nolan. Throughout the film, Leo seems to act unemotionally as if he is only there to get paid, and maybe he was i don't know. But then Leo gives Nolan an old western movie as a gift which implies he does care/ love Nolan as well. For me, this brought a sense of sadness to William's performance as the love he feels for Leo felt, for the most part, unrequited. Annoyingly, Leo's ambiguous emotions still bugs me now after having watched the full feature.Overall, Boulevard is sweet film that acts as a satisfying goodbye to a beloved actor. A uplifting film with a some what heartbreaking ending. Directed well by Dito Montiel, although the cinematography could have needed a bit of work as shots dip in and out of focus at times. All in all this is a well acted film with a brilliant message. RIP Robin Williams

nyc man Although there is some authenticity to this film, there are some things I question; e.g. did the hustler really have a pimp who beat him up?But, I wonder if Robin Williams was gay, and this film appealed to him and his gay desires, so he took a stab at romance. I wonder, too, if Robin's suicide may have been related to his desire not to come out of the closet.There have been rumors of Robin being gay, and his funny denials: 'Williams added, "I'm a big fan of the puss. Always addicted to puss. Came from one".' which was in the pink news in 2006.There are people who claim they slept with Robin, the above article continued: 'He told GQ magazine he has never considered gay encounters, "There are many websites that'll go, 'Oh, he's gay, I know he's gay.' Even our chef, who's gay, was at a gay ski lodge, and some guy came up to him and said, 'Robin Williams is gay.' He goes, 'No, he isn't.' 'Oh, I know he is… I know people who've been with him.' They should tell me, because I don't remember."'The moments of sexual immaturity reminds me of some videos about the legal prostitution in Nevada, where a woman talks about newbies who show up and want to take them from that life (which the women don't want, since they claim to make $200k a year). But Robin in this movie acts the same in wanting to take the young hustler out of "that life". Although, Robin's sexual jealousy at another john sleeping with his hustler seems beyond naive for a 60-year old who works at a bank, and knows that the kid can't afford a place on the few hundred that Robin gives him.I would like to hear other opinions. Especially since now that Robin Williams is dead, we will not be libeling him.In case you're scared of defaming the dead, a source notes : "The dead have no cause of action for defamation under the common law, and neither do their survivors, unless the words independently reflect upon and defame the survivors. " Judge Robert Sack, the author of one of the two leading treatises on libel, from the rights of writers ]

Cinefill1 -Boulevard is a 2014 American drama film directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe. The film stars Robin Williams in his final on-screen role, Bob Odenkirk, Kathy Baker, Giles Matthey, Roberto Aguire and J. Karen Thomas. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20, 2014. The film was released on July 10, 2015 in a limited release by Starz Digital.-Though Boulevard was released shortly after Williams' death, Soesbe said that he did not see Williams display the depression on set that ultimately led to his suicide. He recalled, "I will testify that when he made this film, a year and two months before he took his life, he was not depressed. He was really into that role and if anything, he was really in character. He was looking forward to his TV series and he talked about his family and his pets and he was funny. I picked none of this up. He's very shy and it's difficult sometimes to penetrate the shyness, which you wouldn't expect from him. But I didn't pick up the depression at all.--Reception: -Boulevard received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 50%, based on 36 reviews, with a rating of 5.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Boulevard features a richly layered performance from Robin Williams, but that may be this dour drama's sole distinctive feature." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". IGN awarded the film a score of 7.0 out of 10, saying "It doesn't offer Williams doing any truly brilliant bits of comedy, nor is it a role that is destined to be iconic, but it fits."

jimevarts Williams was perfect and Kathy Baker was very good. The idea that a man finally has the courage (or lack of energy to carry on) to finally give up on the sham he's been living and be honest with himself and everyone else is challenging and sometimes the movie pulled at your heart. But I didn't feel much empathy for a fiftysomething man who feels entitled to have a relationship with an attractive twenty-year-old boy. It's one thing to be honest and quite another to use prostitutes out of some sense of entitlement. That's the sense I got at the end when a young man met him at a restaurant. A parallel to me would be if a heterosexual man told his wife, "I want to be honest and be my true self and sleep with cute young girl prostitutes for the rest of my life."
