Nominated for an Academy Award! Best Performance by an Actor, Colin Firth.

Firth plays him as a man of his time who is also mournfully ahead of his time. He's addicted to his own broken heart. A Single Man may break yours as well. - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

An exquisite, almost sensual grief suffuses every frame of A Single Man. - Bob Mondello, NPR

A SINGLE MAN is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it is the story of a British college professor (Colin Firth) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
