It's 1957, and Hollywood horror director James Whale's heyday as the director of "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The invisible man" is long behind him. Retired and a semi-recluse, he lives his days accompanied only by images from his past. When his dour housekeeper Hannah hires handsome young gardener Clayton Boone, the gay director and the simple yardman develop an unlikely friendship.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

saw it. Not really interesting. submitted by Tassos on May 15, 2021, 6:29pm only borrowed it because some idiots think this is one of the 1,000 best movies. imdb movie database or something. It is not.

No Balrogs here… submitted by tarascon on July 4, 2023, 12:59pm … but there is a giraffe.
Basically a well made psychodrama about liminality, fame, and loneliness. It boasts a good cast and fine acting but the end result is unremarkable. To quote a wizard I once knew: You Shall Not Pass!
