 NEW YORK LESBIAN & GAY FILM FESTIVAL
June 11, 1997 The Public Theater

"From FAME to RENT, NYC's allure as a Mecca for theatrical ambition has been celebrated in scores of movies and plays. Victor Mignatti's BROADWAY DAMAGE is a good-natured, open- hearted addition to this list!"

July 18, 1997 Director's Guild of America

GRAND JURY PRIZE - BEST PICTURE

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
U.K. Premier August 11, 1997 Cameo 1

"Victor Mignatti's gentle gay comedy brings sunshine to the notoriously mean streets of New York... blowing away cynicism with a fresh breeze of old-style romance, BROADWAY DAMAGE is as soft on the eye as the pastel paintwork in Marc's kitchen. That's not to say the film doesn't have its more serious moments - infidelity, mental stress and the devastation wrecked on the city's artistic community by AIDS are all touched on. Mignatti's vision is a modern world where casual sex doesn't exclude tender kisses, proving it's possible to make a film that's sweet to the taste without piling on extra helpings of cheese."

"Marc, Robert and Cynthia. Remember their names... They're gonna live forever!"

 

PUERTO RICO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
November, 1997

"An intoxicating romantic comedy, which is a song of love for New York. That the story's leading characters are gay, and that it is a gay love story, is something that comes down quite naturally, not like an element in some political agenda or forced message. BROADWAY DAMAGE is simply enchanting no matter what your sexual orientation.""A hugely enjoyable romantic comedy."
