Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Original produced for HBO, this hour-long drama marks the emotionally stressful turning point for a family nearly torn apart by the tragedy of AIDS. It also marked a turning point for actor Christopher Reeve, making an acclaimed directorial debut following the horse-riding accident that left him a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down and dependent on a ventilator to breathe. This moving drama proved that Reeve could succeed in his second career, drawing upon his own experience to elicit fine performances from his distinguished cast. Robert Sean Leonard plays a gay man in his early 20s who returns to the home of his affluent parents in upstate New York, dying from AIDS and wishing to spend his final months with his family. While his mother (Glenn Close) responds with care and compassion with the help of a live-in nurse (Whoopi Goldberg), his father (David Strathairn) is unable to accept his son's sexual orientation, much less his inevitable death. His sister (Bridget Fonda) is equally confused and detached from the family, and this emotionally wrenching situation generates a slow and painful change in the dynamics of this dysfunctional family. Similar in theme and quality to Ordinary People, this thoughtfully written and directed film packs more honesty and emotion into 62 minutes than most dramas twice that length. It's a showcase for superior talent and a remarkable achievement for everyone involved. --Jeff Shannon

"In The Gloaming" is an excellent HBO production based on the story by Alice Elliott Dark. First time director Christopher Reeve tackled this challenging story about a young man with AIDS who comes back to the home of his wealthy parents to die. This drama only takes 62 minutes, but it packs an emotional wallop as the main characters have to come to terms with both their past relationships and the people they have become.

I brought "In the Gloaming" because I am a big fan of Robert Sean Leonard. The movie did not disappoint. The acting was right on target. Leonard does a great job of playing a young man, who although at odds with his family, feels the need to come home to die. Glenn Close gives a strong and moving performance as the mother/wife caught between the tensions of her husband and daughter and that of the return of her beloved Danny. This was a big tear jerker for me. I think everyone who watches the movie ... Read More

"In the Gloaming" is a private, quiet and gentle filmed directed by the late Christopher Reeve. It is gorgeous in its simplicity and has a great deal to say. Here is one of those films that are not soon forgotten.

Based on the short story by the same name by Alice Elliott Dark that John Updike included in his collection of best short stories of the last century, no small achievement on the writer's part, IN THE GLOAMING is a near perfect movie about hard topics: missed opportunities, what happens to families who do not talk about important subjects, family dynamics that do not improve with time, the never-ending need to be accepted by your parents and homophobia-- in this instance in an upper middleclass family. ...

This is a film which is inspired, in part, by "Ordinary People." Danny (Robert Sean Leonard), a young journalist, comes home and moves back in with his parents when he's diagnosed with AIDS. This film deals with he and his family's attempts to come to terms with the crisis they face and his impending death. The family is generally a good, loving family, but with communication problems. His mother (Glenn Close)is loving and compassionate, though tentative. It's clear that she and her son have always ... Read More
