    Definitely Worth Watching

    Like the other reviewer, I came to this with no great expectations, but like Presque Rein, another really good French gay movie, this one definitely grips.

    The story of how AIDS affects families, this movie is SO un-American. I dread to think what mushy drama Hollywood would have made of this. As it is, this movie is pared to the bone and hurts to watch. Commanding central performances from the two brothers will make you weep.

    Rated - 2 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Outdated

    Though I thought the subject matter was interesting, it's attitude is outdated and the film has a sudden ending that leaves you wondering why you bothered in the first place. Nice try.
