A-

Bearing the burden of being the first film about AIDS, Longtime Companion (which premiered at Sundance Fest) had the task of placing the crisis on the national agenda, which meant a gentler, kinder tone; even so, it's a touching, nicely acted feature

Formally unadventurous, a little PBS-y, but undeniably moving as it evolves.

A touching story, a bit preachy, but daring for its time.

A sensitive film that helps us understand the bravery and gallantry of those who have been forced in the prime of life to confront death and grief.
