Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Rose Troche's debut film Go Fish quickly became a cult classic for its nuanced, cheerful portrait of a lesbian love in the 90s, so many were surprised when Bedrooms and Hallways contained not a dyke in sight as it traces the merry-go-round of relationships revolving around bisexual Leo (Kevin McKidd) and his friends, including straight Sally (Jennifer Ehle), camp-as-a-row-of-tents Darren (Tom Hollander) and his married estate-agent lover Jeremy (Hugo Weaving). Underneath the cheeky dollops of satire and farce--involving Simon Callow as a New Age counsellor for a men's group and Hollander and Weaving's love romps in other people's houses--there's a more thoughtful analysis of the fluidity of sexuality going on. The fantasy sequences are hit and miss, but there's no doubting the appeal of the leads, particularly the magnificent Hollander, resplendent throughout with bitchy one-liners and a series of ever more outré animal print trousers. --Leslie Felperin

Finally a proper gay theme film with interesting subject. And it's not boring. And the acting is good. And the script is well written. And it's funny.
And and and. Among so many bad movies I have recently seen, I don't regret spending almost two hours in front of tv.
In some circles it got kind of cult status and I am really not surprised.
Two thumbs up!

One of those films that Britain does best - gentle comedy, witty, excellent acting and no unbelievable plots. Jennifer Ehle is excellent (as she is in everything) and James Purefoy gorgeous, but the person who dominates the screen is Tom Hollander as the token gay flatmate - outrageously OTT but wholly enjoyable. A film well worth watching.

A very funny romantic comedy! Great performances all round, and I nearly wet myself watching Hugo Weaving! I will never be able to watch the Matrix again! I will only think of this film a laugh.
A nice tale of forbidden love, confused sexuality and the beating of the "Wild Man" drums whilst trying to come to terms with being a man!!!
A nice and sentimental, funny and realistic comedy! (Oh, its a Gay romance by the way!!!)
Hilarious and should be in everyone's colelction
