David Wiegand

A romantic drama that also offers smart commentary on class and economic differences. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

As a love story, it could scarcely be more tempestuous and as an exposé of class differences and sexual hypocrisy it could hardly be more scathing -- or, more important, entertaining. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

There is also a fair amount of boy-on-boy sex, which would be the main reason for seeing No Regret, no matter what your sexual orientation might be. Read full review

Nathan Lee

I had goosebumps after the movie concluded. Overall a great experience, I would definitely recommend watching this.… Expand
