Awesome Movie

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have loved Ryan Murphy's Glee since it first started and ended but I just think this was a little too overrated of the work he has ever done. Before you think I'm homophobic from not liking this film then you are very wrong, I accept all sexualities gay, straight, bi, trans, alien whatever. Its just I think Murphy is trying to compare this to "Long Time Companion" then be original. I found it wasn't his original outline of this movie and like it maybe wasn't a good idea either to have many well-known stars on this. Although I do appreciate Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Julia Roberts, Alfred Molina and Jonathan Groff as great actors but I'm afraid this isn't one of the best works they acted in.I'm really dissapointed that I didn't find this enjoyable to watch, I am really interested in what history taught us and the fact how aids back then, wasn't treatable as it is now. It's just a pity that this film didn't captivate and made me be interested in it. I'm going to have to say, I give this a 3/10..

Firstly, I want to talk about the haters. I read most of your reviews and I conclude that none of you have the intelligence to understand a film with this subject matter. One reviewer even went so far to say that Jim Parsons can't give a good performance in a drama because he can't show emotion. I think you need to not compare other roles he acts to Sheldon Cooper.The only reason I found this film is because I wanted to see Jim in a role other than Sheldon. I looked up his filmography and picked this one. I thought Jim was very good. He plays a character that clearly doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve because too many of his friends die. If he did, it would drive him crazy. His scene at the end though, blatantly shows that he's full of emotion and sentiment. I found his role quite touching.As for the film in general, great performances from many of the cast, excellent script and an emotional true to life story make this film a must see.Fantastic for a TV movie 9/10.Peace & Love xxx

One of the most amazing movies I have seen recently, just couldn't hold back the tears. Stellar performance by Matt Bomer and Mark Ruffalo. Not only does the movie paint us the horrific conditions of United States in the early 1980's when the AIDS/HIV epidemic had begun, but it also reflects on the social situation with respect to the LGBT community and also how neglect the part of government and medical agencies worsen the situation and allowed a deadly disease to spread and claim millions of lives across the globe. It also is a beautiful heart wrenching love story of two men who wouldn't leave the side of one another in any situation. Purest and most selfless love is demonstrated in their relationship.

It's 1981 and gay men are enjoying their sexual freedom. Only more and more of them are dying. Nobody knows what the cause is. Ned Weeks (Mark Ruffalo) is a writer. Ben (Alfred Molina) is his brother. Dr. Emma Brookner (Julia Roberts) is advocating for gay men to stop having sex. Felix Turner (Matt Bomer) is the NY Times writer who usually does fluff pieces. Bruce Niles (Taylor Kitsch) and Tommy Boatwright (Jim Parsons) are some of the people in the gay community.The first 30 minutes is more thrilling and more compelling than any overblown action. The scenes of people trying to figure out what to do are the best. It's exciting. It's also scary like a horror movie. The romance between Weeks and Turner is the weakest part of the movie. There is a big epidemic and the love story diminishes it. For some reason, I'm reminded of Michael Bay's Pearl Habor. The world is changing and I rather have the movie concentrate on the war, not the romance. I get more from Ned and his brother. I understand where they're going with the romance but it feels more like a waste of time. There are so many great scenes with great acting. Joe Mantello explodes on the screen. Taylor Kitsch retells an incredibly touching story. Julia Roberts overdoes it a little. Overall, there is a lot of great acting in a compelling historical drama.
