Love is Strange tells the story of a middle-age gay couple who find themselves suddenly homeless in New York.

John Lithgow and Alfred Molina star as the recently-married pair, Ben and George, who are forced to live apart with friends and family after losing their comfy West Village apartment.

Ira Sachs ​directs the intimate portrait that CBC film critic Eli Glasner calls "a lovely little gem of a movie with the perfect ending."

Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei also stars.

Watch Eli's review in the video above.
