NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

MartinHafer I must say up front that I am not particularly a fan of Tab Hunter's films. I've seen a few and must admit he is a very beautiful man but I've never been a fan. Additionally, I am not gay. But despite both of these things, I do recommend you watch this biography as it's entertaining and well worth your time...so keep this in mind when you consider watching this film which recently debuted on Netflix.The film is quite simply the story of actor Tab Hunter's life. It follows his journey as an actor as well as a religious man struggling with being gay. Along the way, you learn that there is much more to him than being a homosexual...and he has what appears to be a happy and full life. Overall, very entertaining and a film that will leave you liking and appreciating this artist much, much more. Very well made and compelling viewing.

Martin Bradley Tab Hunter was almost certainly the best looking actor ever to grace a movie screen and one of the few major players ever to come out as gay. His book, "Tab Hunter, Confidential" is a hugely readable account of Hollywood in the fifties and now it's been turned into a brilliant and moving documentary by filmmaker Jeffrey Schwarz. Watching this, two things struck me about Mr Hunter; on a purely superficial level, for a man in his mid-eighties, he's still incredibly handsome, (and certainly doesn't look his age). Secondly he comes across as one hell of a nice guy, a man to be deeply admired for staying true to himself.Like Tab's book, Schwarz's film is, of course, a great portrait of Hollywood, (even if there is something gruesome about seeing old movie stars who haven't weathered the years quite as well as Tab has), but it's also refreshing to see these people talk so openly and honestly about Tab's sexuality in the knowledge that Tab is more than happy for them to do so.Could he act? Most definitely, though he was never given a part that really stretched him, (it's just a pity that "Gunman's Walk" was never taken that seriously). Maybe if he had been more successful it would have been a lot harder for him to be as open but his honesty, and not just about his sexuality, but about his talent, (and he was also a champion show-jumper and a fine figure skater), and his career makes this one of the best films of its kind I've seen.

dgrod I had the privilege of viewing the uncut version last year with Allan and Tab and I am so completely impressed with the finished and so professionally done final product.I saw it at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in La Jolla several nights ago and once again ( as obviously has been the "norm), Tab and Allan and Jeffrey got a standing ovation. It was interesting to stand outside as the earlier showing people exited and hearing them rave about it. The same thing happened after the showing we watched. They deserve all the kudos they are getting as I was captivated from beginning to end and Tab's narration was so heart warming and truthful . I have known him around 50 yrs and I learned more about him with every sentence . You could just feel the emotion in every word he said. I will never get tired of watching it and will attend the Middleburg, VA Film Festival to watch it again. Can't wait for everyone to see and experience what Tab endured on his way to his current peace and happy life with his soul completely bared . My only disappointment is you never get to see enough of what a truly gifted horseman he really is and was. Loved the whole thing !!

maryjengland A fascinating look at a Hollywood that no longer exists through the eyes of one of it's biggest stars. For those who have only heard the name Tab Hunter and know nothing of his career you're in for a treat. Tab shares a sincere, open and honest look at his life from the heights of stardom to the darkest days of loosing a beloved brother, mother and a career.This film weaves through the life and times of a celebrity you truly like getting to know. With candor and grace Tab generously shares with us his most meaningful relationships and how they impacted not only his private, but his very public life and career.Tab, with great humility takes us on journey through an extraordinary life that very few have or ever will experience. It was a pleasure getting to know him. Bittersweet and unexpectedly emotional on so many levels.
