Review of Longtime Companion (1989) by Wizard W — 29 Jan 2007

An honest look at the gays community, during the beginning discovery of aids. It took on the role of showing the discovery of HIV/Aids in the gay community - late 80s - early 90s. This movie stands as an important tribute to our emerging gay culture and focused activism--and is a loving tribute to those young, beautiful gay men who were killed by a very frightening disease.

This is an excellent account of what it felt like in those early years of the epidemic. It is emotionally rich without going over the top. It was a time of horror and denial. Let's hope we won't need to repeat it with a nother generation of gay men.
