Holding The Man (out Aug 27) tells the true story of Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo - two guys who met in high school in the 1970s and become life-long partners. The "getting to know each other" scenes in the early stages feel too scripted but aside, this is an extremely moving Australian drama that beautifully balances its broad time frame. Grade: A-.
