One of the best films of 2009. Colin Firth turns in an amazing, Oscar nominated performance as George Falconer, a middle-aged man who seems to have lost everything – his partner, his purpose in life. We follow George through a single day as he turns to his closet friend, Charley (Julianne Moore), and a young student, deciding if life is worthwhile. Rated R for some disturbing images and nudity/sexual content.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips:

Some films aren’t revelations, exactly, but they burrow so deeply into old truths about love and loss and the mess and thrill of life, they seem new anyway. A Single Man is one such film, one of the best of 2009.
