Review of Jeremy

I saw this film after reading the book and loved it just as much. There are many things I enjoyed about the story/film such as the music, love and the cross town New York bus rides on a Saturday morning. Bus it was the way Jeremy raced other people in the street as if he was in his own horse race-this may sound silly but worked really well and Robby Benson pulls it off in a brilliant touching way. It shows a boy/young man in his own world finding someone who loved him for what he is. The wonderful cello music holds the story together and is not heavy-handed which it could easily have been with a lesser cast and director.

I would love to have the DVD and hope when it comes out there are plenty of extras such as location info and (lots)interviews.

9.5 out of 10
