Beautiful Thing is a teen love story and family drama taking place in a sort of bucolic, but humdrum, working class, housing project in Southeast London.
At the center of Beautiful Thing is his single mother, Sandra, a sharp-tongued, upwardly mobile barmaid with a smartly decorated apartment, and dreams of owning her own bar.
Beautiful Thing is obviously not your every day, garden variety film, but you can see those any time.

Beautiful Thing is a sweet, subtle slice-of-life drama about the sexual awakening of two gay teenagers whose home lives are less than perfect.
Adapted by Jonathan Harvey from his play, Beautiful Thing was produced by Channel Four Films, the now-defunct theatrical arm of Britain's independent television station which was responsible for some of the best indie films of the 1980s and 1990s.
Although the film's tone is not as carefree once their secret is out, Beautiful Thing lives up to its movie poster tagline -- "an urban fairytale"-- in the film's final scene when Ste and Jaime, with a little more help from Mama Cass, quietly and tenderly affirm their union.

Adapted by screenwriter Jonathan Harvey from his own stage play, Beautiful Thing tells how teenage loner Jamie falls for next-door neighbour Ste, one of the tough kids who bullies him at school.
Hampering Jamie's progress on the romantic front is his fear that his mother (Linda Henry) will find out, as well as concern over complicating Ste's existing problems.
Beautiful Thing is a relationship movie, to be sure, but that description doesn't really describe the buoyant tone of this British television production.

What is most missing from the left in America is an element of grace--of civic grace, democratic grace, the kind that assumes disagreements are part of the fabric, but we can make the fabric hold together.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Beautiful Thing
eautiful Thing might be the most beloved of all the gay-youth movies released in the late '90s, which also included Edge of Seventeen and Get Real (which was an almost note-for-note replay of Beautiful Thing's blueprint).
One obvious reason for this is that Beautiful Thing is grounded in a realistic sense of adolescent agony and how it gives way to the rapture of new romance that.
For all their attempts to paint gay life as being carefree, other films in this mini genre completely missed this point.
