Well,I've been a big K.Sutherland fan for quite some time now and i am surprised that i missed this movie.Hadn't watched it so got it from a friend and watched it.I have to say that i was not expecting this kind of movie from him,Hats off to all the people involved in the making of the movie.The writer did a great job,then the direction was good,Actors were all terrific and the movie was able to create such a sweet drama that it kept me at the edge of my seat.Absolutely recommended to all K.Sutherland fans and to all those who like serious drama with good acting.I just have to say that i am a little disappointed to see the rating of this movie.It is absolutely under- rated..

when i first bought this movie i thought that it was about a big family quarrel or something, had no idea that the lead character was gay, but that's okay because i kinda liked the movie. Kiefer Sutherland ..24,, gives a great performance as a gay man,, unfotunately we do not learn who gave Roy the disease or how he got it. His sister agrees to come to Boston because she needs the money,, finds out it is her brother and tries to leave but to no avail. She agrees to stay for his birthday party and the next day finds out he has AIDS. now she has to take care of him on a full time basis,, another plot in the story told through violent flashbacks is about how their mother was killed by their father and how he got away with it,, overall not a bad movie,, just slow in parts.

I have the DVD of behind the red door and I really liked the movie. i loved the music it brought so much peace to me. i was wondering if you could tell me where or how i could receive a CD of the music, i really appreciate it. i have looked all around the area and salesman are saying, there isn't any cd's. so, i am hoping that you will be able to help me with this. this is very important to me. when i was a very small child i heard music that is very similar to this and this was such a very happy and peaceful time for me. it brings so much peace and happiness to me. my father and my mother are no longer here and the music makes me go back in time. thank you so much for your help. lisa harman

I watched this film last evening on cable after previously shutting it off when the AIDS subplot became apparent. My initial instinct proved valid. I am partial to Kyra Sedgewick, but am usually skeptical about Keifer Sutherland as a leading character in anything. Well, they both were equally bad with this badly written script which is badly edited and badly filmed in lovely St. John, Newfoundland. Gay stereotypes abound. Artistic personalities are also painted with a very broad roller. Ms. Channing bumbles through several scenes, but has little impact. I felt a little ashamed of hating this film so much when I read the final dedication in the credits, but I still begrudged the time I spent watching it. The message of reconciliation seemed hollow, a dysfunctional message from a dysfunctional family.
