Writer-director Yen Tan, expanding a same-subject short film, takes his tale slowly, letting the drama breathe and the cast essay "being" rather than "acting".

[I] appreciate that Tan embraces complexity, flaws, and compassion when he could have ignored them for a bow-tied catharsis.

This profoundly resonant, smartly understated black-and-white film greatly benefits from more than 30 years worth of sociosexual perspective that reminds us how much has changed, yet how much else has not.

An immaculately drawn drama

It is a haunting elegy for a generation of gay men.

This is a realistic, discreet, yet exploratory film that earns its tears honestly and scrupulously.

All the performances are very good (though one might ask why no one has a regional accent), with stage-trained Smith providing a center of quiet intensity.

A touching film that becomes both an emotional requiem for a lost generation of gay men and a heartfelt declaration that things could only get better.

The lessons being taught in 1985 are admirable, the performances top-notch, and the filmmaking stellar.

1985 feels like a missing minor classic from the decade that preceded the rise of the so-called New Queer Cinema.

It's a beautifully acted film. In the dark days of the epidemic it would surely have been impossible to make a drama so balanced, so compassionately attuned to everyone's feelings.
