Details

Nolan Mack, a soft-spoken bank employee, undoubtedly loves his wife Joy, though their cavernous empty house only underscores how disconnected they’ve always been from each other. Nolan finds himself drifting from his familiar present-day life in pursuit of lost time after meeting a troubled young man named Leo on his drive home. What begins as an aimless drive down an unfamiliar street turns into a life-altering series of events.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
KeepYourGoodHeart As a big fan of the late Robin Williams, I didn't even hesitate to pick up this film when I saw him on the cover. Unfortunately I was very disappointed by the plot line. It builds slowly as Nolan begins to take care in some way of a destitute young man named Leo but it ultimately goes nowhere. There is very little action, very little intensity and I ended up being bored. On a positive note though, the acting was great by both Williams and the others. Their roles didn't seem fake or forced, but the backstory left me feeling as though I should've skipped this movie. It wasn't the worst I've ever seen but it's not one I would recommend.
ario-626-154846 Author: Studiobena from Israel in this "Reviews & Ratings for Boulevard says" that"It's a kind of sad this is the last movie from Williams, I sure hope I'll erase it from my memory quick because I don't want to remember him like this.".Me not good in English, I can only say the very same, but I'm unfortunate as a Williams' big fan in Japan.I still wonder if his role Nolan is whether his true character/nature or just his great talent /performance.
nyc man Although there is some authenticity to this film, there are some things I question; e.g. did the hustler really have a pimp who beat him up?But, I wonder if Robin Williams was gay, and this film appealed to him and his gay desires, so he took a stab at romance. I wonder, too, if Robin's suicide may have been related to his desire not to come out of the closet.There have been rumors of Robin being gay, and his funny denials: 'Williams added, "I'm a big fan of the puss. Always addicted to puss. Came from one".' which was in the pink news in 2006.There are people who claim they slept with Robin, the above article continued: 'He told GQ magazine he has never considered gay encounters, "There are many websites that'll go, 'Oh, he's gay, I know he's gay.' Even our chef, who's gay, was at a gay ski lodge, and some guy came up to him and said, 'Robin Williams is gay.' He goes, 'No, he isn't.' 'Oh, I know he is… I know people who've been with him.' They should tell me, because I don't remember."'The moments of sexual immaturity reminds me of some videos about the legal prostitution in Nevada, where a woman talks about newbies who show up and want to take them from that life (which the women don't want, since they claim to make $200k a year). But Robin in this movie acts the same in wanting to take the young hustler out of "that life". Although, Robin's sexual jealousy at another john sleeping with his hustler seems beyond naive for a 60-year old who works at a bank, and knows that the kid can't afford a place on the few hundred that Robin gives him.I would like to hear other opinions. Especially since now that Robin Williams is dead, we will not be libeling him.In case you're scared of defaming the dead, a source notes : "The dead have no cause of action for defamation under the common law, and neither do their survivors, unless the words independently reflect upon and defame the survivors. " Judge Robert Sack, the author of one of the two leading treatises on libel, from the rights of writers ]
Michael O'Keefe Dito Montiel directs the first of the last four movies Robin Williams made before his untimely death. Nolan Mack(Williams)became too comfortable with his mundane, sexless life. Surely his wife Joy(Kathy Baker)must have had a clue he may be gay; they slept in separate rooms. Not that he loved money, Nolan worked at the same bank branch for over two decades. He seemed tight with his money until one night driving aimlessly on the boulevard he meets up with a troubled young male prostitute named Leo(Roberto Aguire). He keeps wanting to see the young man and will pay him for his time, without sex being involved. Mr. Mack's life will become altered with a chain of life changing events taking place. Depressing and yet, heartfelt.Williams is excellent. Also in the cast: Bob Odenkirk, Curtis Gordon, Elenore Hendricks and Gary Gardner.
