At a birthday party in 1968 New York, a surprise guest and a drunken game leave seven gay friends reckoning with unspoken feelings and buried truths.
"The highly acclaimed and beloved 1970s movie, 'The Boys in the Band' is one of those films to watch, travel, and find a sea of emotions. After all, this story, now directed by Joe Mantello ('Entre Amigos') and produced by Ryan Murphy (from the series 'Hollywood' and 'American Horror Story'), follows a 1968 New York birthday party among gay friends. However, with the arrival of a surprise guest and a drinking game, the celebration takes a turn of settling accounts of emotions and feelings. Starring Jim Parsons (Sheldon from 'The Big Bang Theory') and Zachary Quinto (from 'Star Trek'), the feature film is a celebration of life and, mainly, of sexual independence. A movie that was groundbreaking when its original version was released decades ago and that, now, finds new ways to innovate. To watch, celebrate, applaud, and be moved. A sensitive movie on Netflix."
