Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
半自传式呈现音乐剧作家的艺术人生。故事和音乐都不太出色。
传记电影不容易过脑
稍微有点触动的是中间分手一段，争吵及关系的崩塌和后来以此改编成的演出唱段交叉呈现，情境基调的反差高效带出主题性。至于其他和整体……听听歌就好了。
一方面要有艺术天赋，另一方面要有恒心和运气。第一个方面就已经淘汰掉这世上99.99%的人了。
太美了太精彩了，所有细节都特别走心，英国贵族的魅力真是难以抵挡，结局差点就要飙泪了，亲情的温暖真是瞬间让人融化。很开心能在电影院里看到。也想起19年12月在电影院里看唐顿庄园第一部，那时还不用戴口罩～
诺大可发挥空间最后却靠LGBT故事来燃情。
剧情主线单薄，剧中剧的表现形式有帮助避短但效果有限；加菲很努力但这片像音乐剧的感觉还是大大重于像电影，他也像在演剧而不是电影。
每次“Downtown Abbey”出现在画面里并伴随着那段经典的旋律时我的心情总是激动的。不亚于霍格沃兹出现在画面里时。编剧导演总是把美好的情绪毫不吝啬地放到这部作品里。接近尾声时，我以为会像《生活多美好》（1946）那样大家欢聚一堂圆满地在“真善美”气氛里结束，直到一个人的离去... ...“别哭了，吵得我听不到自己死了。” so long,granny.
For the love of NYC，Musical and greatest artists!热血沸腾，眼眶含泪，恨不得起立鼓掌（只恨不是在剧院里），Bradley Whitford的桑爷造型乱真100个赞，好莱坞请给加菲小金人。
应该是一生中看过的最“难看”的歌舞片之一了吧
应该是真正完结的时候到了，所以想着给每个人都有着好的归宿，即便这部拍的太过紧凑、过满了点，但作为告别而言，我还是欣然接受并且喜爱它。

这种人社会里有不少，可惜能冒尖的真是凤毛麟角；有人为他树碑立传，也不枉他人世走一圈了。
林-曼努尔·米兰达的过人之处在于，他能以完全电影化的手段去拍摄他挚爱的音乐剧领域，视听技巧和情感表达都完全不像一位新电影导演，很是纯熟。而叙事中对90年代同性群体和艾滋病恐慌的处理，看似蜻蜓点水，却有着发自心底的关注与重视。当然，剧本编排若能更脱离学院派，更放飞自我，一定会更好。安德鲁·加菲尔德、罗宾·德·齐泽斯的表演完成度不俗。
That's life: getting past the unexpected, and perhaps learning from it. // Marriage is a novel, full of the plot twists along the way // I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. // Don't steer me, I'm not a racing car. // Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. 临终都带着幽默 //真实拍摄地Highclere Castle 的确因为拍电影才有资金进行维护
有的人30认为自己时间已经不够多，有的30真的时间不够多，后半程后劲真大，差点哭了……想起来瓦妮莎·哈金斯是我18岁之前最喜欢的欧美女星。片子如果不是舞台剧感那么重就给五星了……
给LMM跪了，歌写得好，拍电影居然也这么棒，完美的电影化，超过In the Heights一个La La Land吧
歌舞片+传记的结合，做到一些很有趣的段落，比如餐厅+交响乐，吵架+牛仔乐，试图用一个音乐剧讲述了他一生里的朋友
"you start writing the next one, and after you finish that one, you start on the next, and on and on, that's what it is to be a writer."
一开场Jon Larson介绍自己是音乐剧编剧时声称one of the last my species，到如今LMM把他的故事搬上银幕，this movie is a love letter from one Musical-theater writer to another.
