Incredible Film!!!
The best film of 2014 so far was not in theaters, it was on HBO. And now it is on disc and it is amazing. Incredible acting, a powerful script by the original playwright, Larry Kramer-- and, this is a surprise, Ryan Murphy's first time in a long time -- directing a film in which he did not drop the ball. This one is on par with some of the best films ever made about gay rights: Milk, Angels in America-- this is not to be missed.

Best Drama reflecting the real 1980s
An entire generation of men died in the 80s and Normal Heart reflects that time in a most unique and compelling way. Having lived in NY and actually aware of GMHC's services, this film brings the viewer into the 'frame' of how it came to be, the brave men that struggled to help, and how survival leaves its scars; you don't have to be a 60+ widow(er) to be touched by this film
This is a powerful and moving film that breathes real life into the history and facts of the AIDS epidemic, and the tremendous array of the spectrum of the gay lifestyle. Ryan Murphy has shown his talents yet again with this film, making it heart-warming, heart-breaking, and completely unforgettable. Don't watch this film to feel good, watch it for the power of the story itself.
