In Dito Montiel's drama, middle-aged and in-the-closet Nolan (Robin Williams) visits his dying, distant father in the hospital, then becomes obsessed with Leo (Robert Aguire), a young hustler, and tries help Leo out while sorting through his own feelings. It's difficult to set aside the fact that this was Williams' final filmed performance before his suicide, but while it's tempting to read a deeper subtext into this story of a desperately unhappy man trying to claw his way out of his stifling life, the undercurrent of melancholy always informed his performances. And, sadly, life did not imitate art in the end.
