Because the film is so effective for its first two-thirds and because it has its heart in the right place throughout, audiences may be willing to forgive its final third.

The boys' lives contain few surprises ... but from the other characters there is one astonishment after another.

Beautiful Thing might be the most beloved of all the gay-youth movies released in the late 90s.

Delightful English film which charts the dawning of love between two homosexuals.
