Handsome Harry

Aiming to both approximate and steadily subvert ’70s backslapping guys’ films like John Cassavetes’s Husbands, director Gordon’s coming-out tale casts rugged-mug character actor Jamey Sheridan as Harry, a poker-faced electrician who’s forced to reckon with his past. Gordon and screenwriter Nicholas Proferes couch their gender studies in forced aggression and slangy guy talk. But forget about much insight into the macho mind-set.
