All names, persons, places, and locations are fictitious, though based on the current AIDS tragedy, and any similarity to the real thing is by artistic synchronicity.

Great snapshot of gay life and NYC in the early 80's

This 35 year old film seems "unpolished" by today's standards (higher resolution, better acting & production values) ...but the movie still works.

The acting isn't great, but good enough. The setting appears a bit sterile and sanitized ...at times more like a play rather than a movie. But we are still able to connect emotionally with the characters and enjoy the narrative.

A meaningful film and a great time capsule!

I would have given this a higher rating 30 years ago.
