{netflix} brother to brother (2004)

Opposites sometimes do attract, such as when an elderly homeless man named Richard (Roger Robinson), who was a literary legend of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, befriends gay art student Perry (Anthony Mackie). The upshot is that Perry learns that the daunting challenges he faces in the early 21st century are not too far removed from the hurdles Richard had to surmount in the early 20th century.

My rating: **** Wonderfully done. Leave it to the African-American community to bring class to a gay movie. One of the top ten best gay movies I've ever seen. (Only because most gay movies are independent pieces of crap.) If only white people could do gay movies this beautifully.
