About This Movie
A Friend of Dorothy is one of those films that captures the raw essence of coming-of-age in a gritty, yet romanticized New York. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really feel Winston's internal struggle as he navigates his freshman year and burgeoning identity. It’s not just a love story; it’s layered with the thrill and fear of first love, encapsulated in the fleeting romance with Tom. The atmosphere is so distinctly New York, with the Village serving as both a backdrop and a character in itself. The performances, especially of the leads, bring a palpable authenticity to the experience. The film tackles themes of sexuality and desire against a tapestry of public and private life in the 90s – it’s a snapshot of a moment that feels both familiar and nostalgic.
