Full Plot Details

Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as "Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder," we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn't-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today. The title of the film comes from the New York Times' refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as "Longtime Companions" of the deceased.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesOne of the better hetero-friendly movies about gays.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyBearing 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
User Review - 10/10 by Ahmad JFor those of you old enough to remember a time before AIDS, this film will bring back all the trauma and paranoia that queer culture felt at the beginning of the 1980's. The film brilliantly captures two times in gay culture: Before AIDS and After AIDS and is filled with powerful moments. Wrenching and unforgettable. The film actually plays a bit like a horror film to me. Hard to watch, but important.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex IAs a LGBT youth, I came across this film late at night not expecting to learn and feel. This is my favorite movie, yet. The acting is phenomenal and the story set up is flawless.
User Review - 10/10 by Donald HSeen often and cried as often. A heart wrenching film.
User Review - 10/10 by Wizard WAn honest look at the gays community, during the beginning discovery of aids. It took on the role of showing the discovery of HIV/Aids in the gay community - late 80s - early 90s. This movie stands as an important tribute to our emerging gay culture and focused activism--and is a loving tribute to those young, beautiful gay men who were killed by a very frightening disease. This is an excellent account of what it felt like in those early years of the epidemic. It is emotionally rich without going over the top. It was a time of horror and denial. Let's hope we won't need to repeat it with a nother generation of gay men.
User Review - 10/10 by Tommy RExcellent story about the early days of AIDS and how it spread so fast. I can't make it through the entire movie with a dry eye, so have pleny of tissues on hand.
User Review - 10/10 by Venieza TEven after at least ten viewings, this film makes me cry - just gorgeous and beautiful..and then it makes me angry, still after all these years.
User Review - 10/10 by avel mThis movie should be manditory viewing for all those who promote the mistaken idea that gays are somehow less than equal or cursed by God. It is a tender and heart-breaking story of a societally marginalized group taking care of their own in the face a horrible disease and yet still retaining a sense of hope.
User Review - 10/10 by Demir BOne of the best movies about that epidemic; the bittersweetness of the last scene is heart-wrenching.
