J. Edgar

J. Edgar is perhaps the first movie I've ever seen about a gay bully (there's Roy Cohn of course).  Well, actually a repressed man who seeks power to fill the void. A strong overpowering mother, a 'secret' friend who's not so secret. Who knew that J. Edgar Hoover fulfilled so many stereotypes? The movie is compelling, well-acted, and insightful. But don't go expecting to see J. Edgar prancing around in women's clothing - the only time he puts on a dress is when he misses his Mother.
