Robin Williams' final drama film Boulevard, the last movie to feature him in person since his death, may make you cry.
The fan-favorite Oscar-winning actor, who died at age 63 in 2014, plays Nolan, a middle-aged man stuck in a rut and a passionless marriage to a woman. His life is changed after he meets a young male prostitute, Leo, played by Roberto Aguire. He pays him solely for his company, connects with him emotionally and finally embraces his true sexuality and authentic self.
"Maybe it's never too late to finally start living the life you really want," says his friend Winston, played by Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk, as seen in a trailer released this week.
Edward Scissorhands and 13 Going on 30 star Kathy Baker plays his wife, Joy.
"I love you, Joy," Nolan tells her. "That was never a lie."
Boulevard premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, more than three months before Williams took his own life, and is set to be released in theaters on July 10.
"This is one of the kindest characters Williams has ever played, which makes his self-imposed turmoil—the consequence of not wanting to hurt anyone, least of all his wife—all the more tragic," film critic Peter Debruge wrote in Variety that month. "Tapping into that same loneliness felt in One Hour Photo and Good Will Hunting, the actor projects a regret so deep and identifiable, viewers should have no trouble connecting it to whatever is missing in their own lives—whether those regrets are romantic, sexual, professional or spiritual."
Boulevard is not Williams' final movie. Before his death, he filmed the comedies A Merry Friggin' Christmas, which was released last November, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, which was released the following month and saw him reprise his role of Teddy Roosevelt, and Absolutely Anything, a 2016 film in which he provides the voice of Dennis, a dog.
