This is simply one of the best movies I've ever seen about the AIDS crisis. Moving, tough and beautiful all at the same time... 100% recommended.

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..

It is impossible to depict a historical event like this, where homosexuals rights where so ignored, in a more balanced view. No guilt can be divided. We know that society did not live up to it's responsibility and reacted too slowly as the virus spread and that this showed an underlying aversion against gay people. Many died an unnecessary and painful death.Ned (Mark Ruffalo) fights his cause against AIDS and in doing so is confronted with one idiot after another throughout two whole hours. He does so screaming, shouting, crying and begging to a point where I lost my interest. Representants from the government etc. are stereotyped big clowns and fifteen minutes into the movie you have figured this out. There are those that don't have the guts to fight, those who are indifferent and those who think that gay people are getting what they deserve.Don't get me wrong. My sympathy is undivided but I would have loved to become more challenged or shown some aspects of this period that I didn't know of watching the movie.To spice the story up you have the tragic love story and a heroic Julia Roberts in a wheelchair fighting side by side with our minority group./Simon

it just put America shame -how can you name an airport after that rotten Reagen who did everything in his power to ignore what's happening even his fellow actors dying of this disease shame on you big time! very good movie indeed a must see for the gay community and a warning to the 'young'generation HIV is not dead but spreading more rapidly than ever! Mark Ruffalo is excellent as Julia Roberts the polo riddled doctor who despite all her effort didn't get any support from the government The dark years of the early 80's when the gay community was left to it's on devices to try and save our dying friends and lovers As the white house scene says since they thoughts AIDS is 'only' killing gays nothing was done-and the main thing of the movie which they didn't elaborate further that the US secretly experimented with viruses that kills gays-one day the truth might come out that this is the real cause and not some silly story about the green monkeys
