It's an HBO movie, right? I hadn't heard much about it, other than it being the reason that there wasn't any Game of Thrones this week. Sounds interesting.

It's an emotionally potent movie. The performances are big, but also very good.

Ruffalo impressed me. He seems to sleepwalk through most of his roles, even the good ones (e.g., The Kids Are Alright--he's good in it, but you almost want to check him for a pulse in some scenes). But god damn is he good here, whole other level good. All the actors are. (Taylor Kitsch is in this film. I was shocked at how great he is. It's like, hey who's this guy?)

It's one of the better films about the AIDS crisis I've seen, up there with Angels in America and How to Survive a Plague.
