Review of How to Survive a Plague (2012) by Michael Z — 02 Jan 2014
How To Survive a Plague is another example of a documentary competently made, but desperately lacking fresh ideas. When, in the last five minutes, cured AIDS survivors speak about the feeling of not knowing what to do with the years they thought they'd never have, I found myself thinking: where's that movie!? That is an idea I'd have liked to see explored, but sadly, this film's only ambition is to piece together the history of the activist coalition ACT UP, and though it does so effectively, it left me wanting something more meaningful.
*2/4*.
