Our Sons

Director: John Erman

Country: USA

Date: 1991

 From the director of “An Early Frost” comes this intelligent and moving AIDS drama. Julie Andrews and Ann-Margret star as the mothers of gay lovers Hugh Grant and Zeljko Ivanek. Andrews is a wealthy businesswoman who remained close to her son after he came out, while Ann-Margret, a barmaid from Arkansas, refuses to accept her son’s sexuality and rejects him. When the latter’s son becomes sick with AIDS, Andrews is persuaded by her son to meet his lover’s mother and try and get the two to reunite. A serious, straightforward story which, while suffering a bit from a  talking-heads style of filmmaking, remains quite compelling and compassionate.
