A married man's (Robin Williams) long-suppressed sexual identity slowly emerges when picks up a male hooker (Roberto Aguire) and pays him for companionship rather than sex.

Critics Consensus

Boulevard features a richly layered performance from Robin Williams, but that may be this dour drama's sole distinctive feature.

2/5

Like its protagonist, this is an almost painfully shy and unrevealing film.

2/5

It's a lugubrious, creaky affair, as Williams squishes up his face and droops his shoulders with a coyness that can be downright embarrassing.

A plodding misfire.

...promising subject matter that is, for the most part, employed to hopelessly underwhelming and uninvolving effect by Montiel...

With an adept supporting cast, this character driven story - which could easily have succumbed to its more clichéd elements - is helped along ably by Montiel's direction and avoidance of dramatic histrionics.

3/5

It's slow, atmospheric and rather good, with the underlying sadness that Williams brought to most of his serious roles. Still, at least he leaves us with a smile on his face.

This subdued performance from Williams, not long before committing suicide, takes on extra depth ironically. It reminded me a lot of his One Hour Photo performance. Both of which are good, but not enough to elevate either film's more average scripts and storylines.

One of Robin Williams' last movies has some good, heart-wrenching scenes, mostly coming from Williams' silence. He was one of those actors that could convey a lot without saying anything. There are problems with the story (caring so much for a stranger; tidy and neat ending), but it's worth a look just to see Williams' dramatic side one more time.

Good movie. Much of this movie's storytelling is a little clichéd and familiar, but thanks to a phenomenally complex performance from Williams, this is a very compelling drama with a very grounded and silently moving direction from Montiel.

Story is a tad bit simple and weak, but Robin Williams delivers a great final performance on the big screen of his brilliant career...
