Yen Tan’s “1985” starring Cory Michael Smith | NY Press Screening (Wednesday), Opens Oct. 26 in NY/LA
“A deeply emotional tearjerker and family story… that earns its tears honestly and scrupulously. Cory Michael Smith is exquisite. Madsen has rarely been as fine.”
– Dan Callahan, THE WRAP
“Yen Tan’s miracle of a film masterfully sets a heartbreaking, small-scaled familial story against the massive backdrop of the AIDS crisis. Richly hypnotic.”
– Tomris Laffly, FILM SCHOOL REJECTS
“An excellent drama. All the performances are very good, with stage-trained Smith providing a center of quiet intensity.”
– Dennis Harvey, VARIETY
