Movie Reviews

NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA discouraging documentary about the Chocolate City where HIV has been quietly decimating the ranks of the black community practically in the shadow of the White House.
New York Post - 8/10 by Kyle SmithIts personal, newsmagazine touch will make your heart ache for its cross-section of humanity.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Lauren WissotA fascinating and damning glimpse inside a parallel universe that exists right in the heart of our nation's capital.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Michelle OrangeIn her absorbing, alarming investigation into the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the nation's capital, Koch cuts a cross-section through a bitter D.C. winter, following about half a dozen local victims, caregivers, family members, and activists as they grapple with a disease without the benefit of social awareness or political will.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Andy WebsterThe film's most vivid presence is seen but barely able to speak: Jimmy, a gay man in his 30s dying at Joseph's House, an AIDS hospice. Anyone who has kept a deathbed vigil will relate to his suffering and his family's, and perhaps arrive at a sense of just how universal this epidemic truly is.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasAll these individuals and organizations are deeply affecting in their attempt to better themselves and society against daunting odds.
Movie Dearest - 7/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterEye-opening...Serves as a severe indictment of those chiefly charged with providing political and moral leadership in the U.S.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Michael O'SullivanThe Other City takes a hidden, invisible Washington and shows us its face.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael TWell, never could imagine this would happen in this country, ESP in the capital of the strongest country in the world.
User Review - 8/10 by Myles HA difficult film to watch, but a rare, critical glimpse into the lives of people who are struggling to find love, meaning and acceptance against a relentless tide of stigma, intolerance and willful ignorance. Hopefully it will open a few new eyes to the reality that HIV/AIDS is far from over in the United States.
