Tribeca: John Lithgow And Alfred Molina Break Hearts With Love Is Strange — cinemablend.com

As follow-up to his critically heralded indie drama Keep The Lights On, co-writer-director Sachs offers another tale of love between two men in Manhattan. Instead of focusing a new couple struggling with issues like coming out of the closet, Love Is Strange centers on a pair of partners who have been together for decades. With marriage equality having come to New York, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) can at long last make it official. Unfortunately, the Catholic school for which George has worked for over a decade does not approve. So he is fired, leaving the pair homeless, and forcing them to separate.
