Starrg Col Firth and Stanley Tucci, the film’s sensive portrayal of a gay uple who road trip to vis fay the English untrysi — perhaps for the fal time, as they stare down an end-of-life cisn — has been met wh wispread qutn of whether straight actors should still be playg queer, here the send of the 21st century, would seem to have an obv answer.
