Thoughtful and well-acted, Sublet tenderly depicts a romance that reaches across the generation gap -- and into the viewer's heart.

There's a raw and honest intimacy that's heartbreaking to behold and unique. The two leads are fantastic.

4/5

With a light touch and charm to burn, Sublet gently builds to the point where both men experience a deep emotional shift -- and, together, achieve that wonderful exhortation from E. M. Forster's Howards End: "Only connect."

5/5

Clever, ironic and overwhelmingly human, Sublet shows us what happens when we're taken out of our comfort zone, and teaches us a valuable lesson in love.
