Reno on Boulevard

6/10 · Dec 24, 2015

Ian McKellen would have seemed a natural choice to take on this project, as the story felt quite personal to his own experiences. It’s likely you've heard that this was Robin Williams' final film appearance. He delivers one last remarkable performance, with the entire narrative centered around his character, though other elements feel secondary. The plot is adequate, but it’s a straightforward and inexpensive drama concerning homosexual relationships. The initial setup of the story felt rushed, yet the movie unfolded deliberately over its full runtime of 90 minutes. However, certain aspects remain unclear—like the nature of his marriage to his wife, and what the final scene was meant to convey. While interpretations are possible, these ambiguities were significant drawbacks that prevented the film from reaching its potential. I would have preferred a more powerful emotional impact. The characters and how they interacted with each other were captivating; it simply lacked a deeper sentimental connection. What’s particularly poignant is the timing of Robin Williams' passing in relation to this movie and the type of character he portrays. I am certain that if you are a fan, seeing this film is worthwhile. 6/10
