Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Jay Lovejoy This is an amazing film, about a topic generally not discussed openly. The cast really did this justice. they really brought the film to life. I totally recommend this movie to everyone. This is about a piece of history that is crucial to the future. This movie brought to light parts of history that some people know nothing about and gives some background knowledge on the Aids epidemic. If you enjoyed this film i recommend you try 'And The Band Played On' from 1993 and 'How To Survive A Plague' from 2012 The musical 'Rent' also briefly touches on the topic. With a great director and an amazing cast and an even better story and message this movie is a must see.

Crispy Cream 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

pedro-jl-pereira I really enjoyed this movie, it as good story line, lots of historical facts, great performances and a good rhythm. It tells you the story of the gay community in New York city, in the beginning of the 80's, when AIDS started to appear and nobody know how the transmission of the virus was possible, how to prevent and at the same time deal with the terrible anti-gay atmosphere in every street and place of the city. Mark Rufalo makes a wonderful job, great performance, the audience can actually feel the anger, the anxiety and despair of a man fighting for his partner who caught AIDS. I think its one of those films everyone should watch, besides every creed or religion, to remind us all that prejudice and ignorance are the main keys for a detached and sick society.8/10

SnoopyStyle 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.
