There is a whole genre of films about people at the end of their lives going on explorations to repair old relationships and maybe live for real one more time after not doing so for a long time. This is a nice example of the genre, with sweet encounters and gentle glimpses of a small-town gay life past and moving into the present. The main character is charming (with the required streak of irascibility) but a little too within the expected range of an ageing queen. His grief for his partner is very reminiscent of similar themes in other films of this sort; his one "conflict" is more gentle than not. Probably the most powerful moment comes when he learns his impact on a young man he'd never met. It's a very likable but not a very original or memorable film.
