The Normal Heart

Saw it the other night on HBO and can't stop crying, especially the ending.

I really loved it too. The anger and despair was quite overwhelming.

I thought it was extremely well done, both in acting and writing, though it was more than a little stagey in places. That happens a lot when they translate a stage play to screen.

I almost immediately followed up by re-watching And the Band Plays On -- and I think that that's an even better piece. Also one of the very first made-for-HBO films, I believe.
