What begins as an aimless drive down an unfamiliar street turns into a life-altering series of events.

Seat in Shadow
Young Ben is having boyfriend troubles again, so his grandma introduces him to Albert, an eccentric Glasgow painter who doubles as an unconventional, Jung-inspired psychotherapist. But their therapy sessions end up revealing as much about Albert as they do about Ben in this twisted, sexual comedy. Filmed on location in Glasgow, "Seat In Shadow" is the debut feature from writer/ director Henry Coombes. The film received its world premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival and also played Berlin International Film Festival and BFI Flare. This is a witty study of social mores and sexual excess where the boundaries between doctor and patient, artist and muse become increasingly blurred.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Review: I am used to seeing Robin Williams being a comic genius in his movies but in this film, there isn't a touch of comedy at all. He plays a happily married man called Nolan Mack, who has worked in a bank for many years, and is due for a promotion, to run his own branch. One night when he is driving home, he picks up at male, street prostitute, Leo (Roberto Aguire), and after spending one night with the teenager, he soon becomes his regular pick up. Nolan ends up falling for Leo, and whilst constantly lying to his wife, Joy (Kathy Baker), about his whereabouts, he spends various nights in a hotel with Leo. When Leo's pimp, Eddie (Giles Matthey) starts to demand money from his worker, Leo turns to Nolan for the money, which he reluctantly gives him. The relationship soon turns sour once Nolan realises that he has been used by Leo, which costs him his job and his relationship with his wife. The movie seemed very basic, with average performances from the cast but there are some emotional scenes. Williams seemed a bit out of his comfort zone, mainly because he was restricted in many ways but it was good to see that he could cover different genres, and still put in a decent performance. The main problem that I found with the movie was that it was very slow and it seemed more depressing than entertaining. It would have been nice to see Williams final movie being a comedy, because he is known for his brilliant sense of humour and quick wit jokes, which is why I think this film failed at the box office. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Dito Montiel, 51, who brought you. A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints in 2006, Fighting, The Son Of No One, Empire State and Man Down. He certainly has worked with some A-list actors, like Al Pacino, Robert Downey Jr., The Rock and Channing Tatum but all of his movies have been mediocre. This film felt more like a TV movie, in my opinion, and I personally think that there wasn't enough elements to keep the movie interesting. People didn't really flock to the cinema when this movie was released, which was surprising after his sad passing in August 2014. I'm glad that he will be remembered for his comedy, and the fact that he made everyone around the world laugh, at some point in there life. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $128,000 I recommend this movie to people who are into their dramas, starring Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, Roberto Aguire, Giles Matthey, Eleonore Hendricks and Bob Odenkirk. 3/10

I find this movie interesting because it's an important Robin Williams legacy, unfortunately he was a great actor and is no longer with us. Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Bicentennial Man was my favorites, gems that dignifying his career. "Boulevard" is a shame. I think it is a bad portrait of a gay man's life. What kind of man came out of the closet at 60? The acting was fair, but Nolan is a weak man, who falls in love with a street boy. Nolan meets Leo, a prostitute (Is's hard to believe Roberto Aguire dated Emma Watson)who is victimized by a bully. The relation between them is weird, fortunately there was no sex involved. In the end of the movie Leo suffer an overdose, which makes no sense because we never see him consuming drugs. The bully chased him for money instead: that is a goof. The mechanic of the situations of Nolan's Life was fair and good executed, but the real problem is how stupid a man can be for get some companion. Aguire's performance was average but not extraordinary. The Rest of the cast was fair enough, but the movie was flat. Producers didn't brake a leg.

Contrary to what most here have posted, this movie is just as sickening as you may have imagined after glancing at the synopsis. Robin Williams has always been a bad actor with a fondness for portraying sodomites, so this movie was just par for the course. I had to force myself to watch the entire movie due to the abhorrent subject matter, but basically, this movie is about a disturbed man with low libido, presumably molested as a child, who betrays his loving family and turns to sodomizing guys to add some spice in his life. Quite a lesson to learn from, huh?Don't waste your time on this one and definitely keep the kids away.

Williams was perfect and Kathy Baker was very good. The idea that a man finally has the courage (or lack of energy to carry on) to finally give up on the sham he's been living and be honest with himself and everyone else is challenging and sometimes the movie pulled at your heart. But I didn't feel much empathy for a fiftysomething man who feels entitled to have a relationship with an attractive twenty-year-old boy. It's one thing to be honest and quite another to use prostitutes out of some sense of entitlement. That's the sense I got at the end when a young man met him at a restaurant. A parallel to me would be if a heterosexual man told his wife, "I want to be honest and be my true self and sleep with cute young girl prostitutes for the rest of my life."
