Frankie Howerd: Rather You Than Me (2008)
Candid and poignant drama about the comedian Frankie Howerd and the relationship with his long-term, long-suffering manager, and gay partner, Dennis Heymer. Despite his overtly camp persona, Howerd kept his companionship with Heymer under wraps for 35 years, until his death in 1992. Yet through career disaster, social stigma, illegality, numerous infidelities and Howerd's own deep-seated issues about his homosexuality, their love endured.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
