    Merchant/Ivory’s underrated gem.

    What is most welcome about this drama is how the dilemma of homosexuality, at a time when it is a criminal offence, is dealt with in a sensible and intelligent way. To know what a virginal Hugh Grant was doing back then.

    Good movie but when Hugh Grant advertised as the star I assumed he was Maurice. Was surprised to see an actor I'd never heard of was Maurice. Also, later in film when Hugh Grant's hair was slicked back and he sported a mustache he sort of resembled Freddie Mercury.

    Maurice is a pleasant piece of queer period drama with a satisfying story and a superb cast. This film explored its subject more deeply than I expected and was surprisingly balanced. Although it properly recognized the stigma of the age, this film found a way to make a complete story without losing itself in the hardships of queer love in the early twentieth century.

    Made and released in the height of the AIDS crisis, this film is iconic in every sense of the word.

  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    This film handles the LGBT subject area quite well. Its a thought provoking watch and it features good performances from the main cast (James Wilby, Rupert Graves and Hugh Grant). Its a good period drama that I'd recommend.
