 WELL...I USED TO LOVE HIM..BUT I HAD TO KILL HIM... April 2, 2002
Very dark side of of the gay genre, but certainly not unbelievable.( since the opening scene is the murder of one of the actors, this should not give the plot away) as most of the movie is about,"why yves did it". I'm sure this is not the first film about killing the one you love... and It will not be the last. Mr. GoodBar comes to mind, but he was just a nut out to get his jollies at the right moment.As Yves tells the inspector,'you cannot explain it in words, it doesn't work, the feelings cannot be described as one thinks them'.
You have to draw on your imagination to get to the agonizing and hopelessness of Yves demented love for claude. We do not get to have a deeper evaluation of Claude's psyche. P>Halfway decent gay themed movies are hard to find, and I cannot imagine what Hollywood would have done with this flick, but, if you can take the heavy darkness of this movie it will leave you thinking, about the obsessions of love and how it can deform your psyche. Actually the only thing that really bothered me about this movie, was the title.

Being At Home With Claude October 14, 2002
JeffreyJGH (USA)
Fans of La Femme Nikita finally get to see Roy Dupuis emote in this chamber drama. Dupuis plays Yves, a tortured prostitute, who has murdered his lover. The film plays out as a police interrogation, the detective slowing drawing out the harrowing details from Yves.
If you are looking for a police drama with lots of action, this is not the movie for you. If you appreciate intricate character studies, then "Being At Home With Claude" delivers.
Dupuis owns this movie through and through. The film is Yves's confession and largely takes place in one room with just the police detective. In such a restricted setting, Dupuis holds our attention with his ability to convey a variety of different emotions: guilt, anger, love, frustration. His ability to make us care about his character, to feel some sort of empathy, is what makes this excellent film so captivating.
It is his most emotional! November 7, 2007
M. Ruiz (Chicago, IL USA)
I viewed this movie a long time ago, because I, too, was a La Femme Nikita fan, and because an admirer of Mr. Dupuis' work after this particular movie. I would like to add that this movie was also admitted to Cannes of that year, and it was Mr. Dupuis' first major role. He killed in this movie, literally and figuratively. He was both emotional and sensual in his portrayal of a streetwise prostitute who murdered his lover for no apparent reason it seemed, except in his own mind, with flashbacks into his past, his partyings, his first encounter with his later-murdered lover, and in the end, gives a soliquoy of explanation of his crime to a rather sympathetic police investigator (played perfectly by a well-known international actor). He played, in my opinion, a rather honest and raw portrayal of the gay life, especially of a young, hot stud living life one night at a time. I'm a female and I was entranced by this gay character. Please see this movie before any other RD movie. You will also be very impressed.
