I'm always on the look out for films that deal with the subject of AIDS - not only as a teacher of film, but someone who remembers how the island city of Key West was devastated - almost 20% of the population died of AIDS, and what Bailey House meant to New York in the 80s and 90s, and how the Republican Party who ruled the White House and the congress did nothing until the late great Elizabeth Taylor kicked Ronnie in the butt....but let's get back to the film - it's an important film - well acted - good solid cast - truthful in its portrayal of male gay life, a good script, and an interesting slow build up - this is not an action film folks so for those of you who are addicted to comic books on screen - wake up - film making is also an art - and this film is just that - it's art. Congratulations to everyone associated with the film. And sorry that so many of the main stream media types of reviewers were so ignorant and stunted. This film should be on the INTERNATIONAL AIDS DAY list of films to be screened all around the globe.
