Dated but well intentioned and at the time ground breaking drama. The male leads are good but best of all is Kate Jackson, its a shame she didn't make it in features. Wendy Hiller offers a lovely performance in a small role.
This movie addresses a very real problem for many closeted gay men and their families - it was well done and seemes very progressive for when it was made.
the first same sex movie and what a bore, no wonder it took 20 more years for gays to come out of the cinema closet
One of the first gay movies I ever saw on TV. Remember how I stayed up late with the sound down low so my parents wouldn't hear lol. Well acted from what I can remember.

Very good film about a topic that was considered taboo when the film came out. A real piece of groundbreaking cinema.

Unfortunately, Hiller doesn't command the intensity of feeling that might have made it emotionally valid, and he doesn't have the awareness of the cultural forces at work in his film that might have m... Full Review
On its own baby-step terms, and despite its moneyed vanilla-himbo vision of gay masculinity and desire, Making Love plays now as a bemusing anachronism but not an insulting or self-inflating one. Full Review
has trouble conveying passion, torment, and guilt Full Review
This is a three-handkerchief movie, all right, but for the nose. It stinks. Full Review
Making Love salutes the philosophy of different strokes for different folks. Full Review
Although it was a brave movie at the time, it's got less power than the average soap opera these days. Full Review
Noble attempt at mainstream gay love story almost works due to Barry Sandler's script.
