This film is so good..

It's so good. So rich.. so lovely how the sexuality of the parties is balanced by the personal aspects of the couple's journey and their relationship. Such a touching love story and a bright hopeful look at HIV. The outlook on the relationship with the parents is brilliant too, Tom's life attitude in general is simply inspiring in the face of adversity. Also so entertaining as a story! And what an exposé for sex rights, really such a rich film in so many different aspects.. Big thumbs up!
