Matt Bomer is heartbreaking as a New York Times style reporter looking for love in a loveless city. His physical transformation is astonishing and agonizing. Full Review

Rating: 6/10 -- Larry Kramer's blistering cri de coeur about the early days of the AIDS plague gets a solidly respectful but flawed treatment from Ryan Murphy. Full Review

It's an impressive, relevant, and moving ensemble drama that I can't recommend enough. Full Review

Watch at your own risk, but to not watch the film - or more importantly, learn from it - is an even higher risk. Full Review

Moving, well acted and important for a generation who may be unfamiliar with the source material. But the TV version, also written by Kramer, doesn't have the emotional heft of the play. Full Review
