The trailer of veteran and renowned actor Robin Williams' last onscreen film performance, Boulevard, highlights the wide dramatic range of the late actor.
This movie is about William, a married man in his 60s, who has been stuck working as a bank manager for years. The character is trapped to his dead-end job and his denial about his very sexuality. All this changed when he befriended a gay street hustler in his youth (portrayed by Roberto Aguire).
Variety.com's movie critic, Peter Debruge, has written in his own review after the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last 2014, "This is one of the kindest characters [Robin] 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."
"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," he added.
A.V. Club described the trailer as not too far away from depicting the reality of the actor's death last 2014. They labeled that Boulevard is Robin Williams's final dramatic onscreen performance. The audience might find it difficult not to correlate the movie's plot with the regrettable fact of the actor's suicide because there is quite a big resemblance with Robin Williams's portraying the role of an estranged man who's struggling to hide and keep his emotions under control from behind a restrained façade.
'Boulevard' will hit theaters starting July 10 this 2015. This will not be the last movie Robin Williams will be acting as he will be heard on Terry Jones's upcoming animation, Absolutely Nothing, which will be out the following month.
