Just perfect...
Humbersi
The first must-see film of the year.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie didn't seen very promising to me. But I started to watch (1 of my bunch movies to watch). In the beginning I didn't understand why they would do something to somebody you love so much. But at the end... I would do the same!!! I felt what the family and friends felt. You always think, it will never happens to me. but if you see this movie it comes very close to you, just like it happens to one of you family member. Fantastic acting and with a good casting crew... The movies of Thom Fitzgerald are not well know, but they should be... A well deserved 7 out of 10!!!greets, GameBelgium

This is not the kind of thing that attracts me: simple drama. Straight ahead, grinding humanity.Why would people invest in watching something like this? For engagement, I suppose.There's engagement in the story, for sure, if you need it. But there is a higher level of engagement in knowing that these players are pouring out their hearts for us.Sarah Polley is extraordinary, just extraordinary. Olympia has a grace that matters. Parker is less open than usual until the end.Coming to the event, the man's sister and mother talk about Shirley McLain's performance in "Tears of Endearment." The whole movie revolves around that line, that notion.The thing is constructed so that there is a movie within the movie a movie of the event. Something clever.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

The event was a strong powerful movie. The family was cast perfect. It felt like it could of been your neighbors. The movie made me cry and every person sitting next o me cried as well. Olympia should get an award for her acting. The little girls made me laugh. I needed to laugh between my tears. Good Job

I was fortunate enough to see this film at the Sundance Film Festival, and while I was ostensibly in Park City for skiing, this film will stand out in my memory as the high point of the trip. Poignant, heartfelt, authentic, beautifully acted, outstanding direction, incredible script - I could go on...When the director of the film came out to address the audience before the screening, he commented about all the love that went into this film. This "touchy-feely" stuff tends to make me a bit uneasy, but in fact, every frame of this picture showed that love.This film is so utterly honest with it's subject - a gay man dying of AIDS, post 9/11 - that you wonder how a film like "Philadelphia" is still regarded in such high esteem. As a gay man, I felt "Philadelphia" was fraudulent - unreal - pure Hollywood sap. (I won't ever forget the scene when Hank's character, covered with KS lesions, is handed a newborn baby to cuddle. Yeah, that'd happen...)If you want the real thing, check out this amazing, wonderful film - we now just have to pray this masterpiece finds a distributor.The auditorium I saw this film in at Sundance probably held 1500 people. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
