Apr 3, 2018 Fabulous. Reminds you how heroic the aids activists were in the 80's. Every young person should see it.

Anakin S Mar 31, 2018 I am somewhat tempered in my reactions, having lived pre, current and post aids crisis. While, the initial subject matter is a bit been there, done that, one can't help but be moved by the evocation of lost emotions stirred by this movie and cast. To fully impact the themes, the soldiers of a last hurrah, largely a forgotten army, the lack of understanding what 20 years can do, from innocent "What do mean gay bars weren't legal No hospitals would take us, no funeral homes would bury our dead" to Queer Eye or RuPaul one would need a three hour documentary. I wanted more of the generational gap to "school" the "young un's' But in what there was, this film showcases some brilliant acting. Alan Cummings delivers the performance of a career to date, with more nuances than twists in the Yellow Brick Road. It is a multi leveled, intense performance worthy of Oscar contention, one of those rare tour de force performances of actors being the role, not playing it. Equally moving was David Drake in the supporting role of William, having fought the good fight and lost. His anger and resignation to death were real. Zachary Booth proved to be an unknown thespian surprise, with his uncanny resemblance to the famous Joe Dallesandro poster over William's bed. The rest of the cast, including co-writer Anthony Johnston and Everett Quinton serve their parts well. In all it may have the writers' catharses, but it is a story which resonates to all. This is not a popcorn picture, but the kind you need to sit over coffee to discuss. While not perfect, you will feel it. See more

Rey R Mar 28, 2018 A raw and honest portrayal. Kudos to Alan Cumming and Vincent Gagliostgro for making this film.

Mar 14, 2018 I liked the film so much that I watched it twice. It is a great depiction of how two generations deal with AIDS then and now. Obviously a personal statement. Bravo. See more
