02/20/2021 Bill Sherwood presents a love story about receiving bad news and what to face once it's passed. John Bolger, Richard Ganoung, and Steve Buscemi in one of the earliest LGBTQ flicks from the 1980s. Robert and Michael have to deal with their long distance relationship when he's offered an extended assignment for his job. Then his ex Nick comes back. Turns out he's diagnosed with HIV. Now they have to face their realities as they start to take shape. This was a landmark in gay cinema and one of the first to address the AIDS crisis. Both Robert and Michael are struggling with separating and given Nick's situation it just strains everything. I just thought this was okay. But the underlying emotions are ever present from all the actors involved. See more 02/03/2016 A touching humorous look at gay and straight friendships, romances in the early days of HIV. Steve Buscemi is great in the role of Nick. See more 07/15/2015 The first Buscemi movie. Pretty much the first AIDS movie, too. He's a risk taker, that's for certain. It's a talky movie with gay characters, and for it's time, that was a revelation. See more 05/22/2015 Steve Buscemi's performance is unforgettable. The rest of the acting does not always feel as real as needed, but this is a major step forward for independent Queer Film and offers a great deal of insight into the era in which it was made. See more 05/07/2014 One of the first films dealing with the AIDS crisis, and still one of the better ones. Unfortunately the director, Bill Sherwood, never made another film before his AIDS related death. We lost a potentially fine filmmaker when he let go this mortal coil. This is one of the few films that seem even better now. See more 05/02/2014 i remember when this came out it is still a fave See more Read all reviews
