Review of Longtime Companion (1989) by Ryan T — 03 Jan 2009

The first movie in a long time that I actually bawled at. In my life, I have had a loved one, my mother, who passed on from cancerâ??seeing the scenes of people being so sick, yet people taking care of each other, made me remember of mom's struggle and the aftermath of her illness.

A very sensitive portrayal of the 1980s AIDS crisis. My wish and prayer would be for those who see the movie to understand that the message it brings still holds so true for today, that there are insidious things in our world that we all can contend with, together.
