Reviews for Longtime Companion
Bearing the burden of being the first film about AIDS, Longtime Companion (which premiered at Sundance Fest) had the task of placing the crisis on the national agenda, which meant a gentler, kinder tone; even so, it's a touching, nicely acted feature
A sensitive film that helps us understand the bravery and gallantry of those who have been forced in the prime of life to confront death and grief.
