      Audience Member Decent portrait of the early HIV epidemic in the US, but a lazy plot. So many holes you just have to guess what is going on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Its a corny early 90s post apocalyptic dystopia thats accidentally about 2020. Grab a beer and enjoy the cheese. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A heartfelt allegory that captures the spirit of rebellious optimism of the early 90s at the tail-end of the HIV crisis and the Reagan/Bush years. Has a low-rent off-Broadway feel but features genuinely charismatic performances by Moira Kelly and Cuba Gooding Jr in a production that works with what it has to good effect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A reminder of how things might of been under a neo-NAZI regime during the height of the AIDS epidemic in the US. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Seriously a terrible movie, please don't waste your time! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie & cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
