It's thoroughly admiring... framing [Kramer's] excesses as a necessary response to circumstances and suggesting that on the big questions he was always right.

Boston Globe

It's a well-done, if familiar, portrait of a man and his times.

The Hollywood Reporter

A generous salute to the unfiltered firebrand whose impassioned outspokenness helped break institutional inaction during the AIDS crisis.

What's remarkable is the way that it is a glimpse into a certain time and place, a certain subculture, the atrocities they faced, the attention they didn't get, and the ways in which [Larry] Kramer helped and hindered the cause.

You might not see eye to eye with Kramer but it's impossible not to admire or be inspired by this pain in the ass activist.

Good old angry Larry Kramer. I'll bet it's hard to be his friend. This movie is a good companion piece to How to Survive a Plague, the Vito Russo documentary (which aired on HBO, as did this), and the HBO adaptation of Kramer's The Normal Heart.

A must see! How shocking the AIDS epidemic was and still is. An amazing film about an amazing man. One can't help but think gay men and women's progress would be far more advanced today if it had not been for that terrible disease and the stigma attached.
