The Night Listener (2007)

The Night ListenerIs he real
or
is he not?

Adapted from Armistead Maupin's book, this tale is based on an experience Maupin says actually happened to him.

Late night radio show host Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) finds his relationship falling apart just as he begins a long distance phone and mail relationship with a teen, Pete Boland (Rory Culkin), who purportedly was abused and is in the last stages of AIDS. Noone's borderline lover (Bobby Cannavale) plants the seeds of doubt about whether the boy's tale is true or not which leads Noone on a significant trip to find out the truth.


Toni Collette plays the disturbed blind woman who is who adopted Pete and Sandra Oh plays Noone's confidant.

Robin Williams is outstanding!

Director: Patrick Stettner.

Rated R for language and some disquieting sexual content.
