About this movie

Starring Robin Williams in his remarkable final on-screen performance, BOULEVARD follows married but closeted 60 year-old bank employee Nolan (Williams) whose spontaneous turn down an unknown street upends his monotonous life and crumbling marriage. After forming an uncommon friendship with a young, charismatic hustler, Nolan finds himself on a journey of self-discovery and must confront the secrets he has kept hidden from his wife (Kathy Baker of SAVING MR. BANKS) and himself. Nolan’s dramatic decision to rethink his own identity holds with it the promise of happiness and salvation for both he and his wife in this touching and inspiring film. From acclaimed director Dito Montiel (A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, THE SON OF NO ONE), and written by Douglas Soesbe, BOULEVARD shines with an ensemble cast that includes Bob Odenkirk (TV's BETTER CALL SAUL) and Roberto Aguire (STRUCK BY LIGHTNING) in a breakout performance.

Disappointing.... This movie is very "non-robin Williams ". I know many true critics of movies will probably scream at me for not seeing the "deeper meaning", but the fact is that this movie is about an aging bank employee who (on account of both his father and marriage dying) becomes confused on his own sexual identity. Nolan begins to have feelings for a young male prostitute as he deals with his emotional conflict. Unless you wish to watch a movie about a man who is sexually and emotionally confused, I would not recommend this movie.

This movie speaks to a deep message about accepting sexual identity. Nothing like what I was expecting after descriptions and trailers and reviews from companies. Made me depressed. It was weird. Don't watch with your family, it'll be super awkward. I love Robin Williams and it's sad they're making this out to be his best movie

No one knew his death was going to happen, while the production if this film but, so not him, since dark. Sorry but I respect who he was as a actor & his work but this movie is a waste. Rather sit through Fargo again.
