Movie Reviews

AALBC.com - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA telling reminder of just how effective civil disobedience still can be when you tap into a forbidden emotion to unleash the requisite righteous rage needed to challenge an intransigent authority in collective and constructive fashion.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAnd by exploring the lighter side of communal action - the camaraderie and cruising that turned weekly meetings into what one member calls "a combination of serious politics and joyful living" - he uncouples the gravity of the cause from the perceived humorlessness of advocacy. Foot soldiers for the dying, the members of Act Up never forgot how to live.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeThough the film sets out only to chronicle the group's life, not the history of the disease, some viewers will wish for a parting message making sense of where things stand today, with the disease mostly vanished from headlines but still destroying lives around the world.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonIf the AIDS crisis has crested, it's due in large part to the radical advocacy group so intelligently portrayed in United in Anger: A History of ACT UP, a documentary that could have been a lot angrier but aims to educate rather than agitate.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Melissa AndersonCrucially, the variety of interviewees in Hubbard's doc - men and women of different races and classes - underscores just how diverse ACT UP was in its heyday.
Cinema em Cena - 4/10 by Pablo VillaçaQue o ACT UP foi essencial ao desmistificar a AIDS e melhorar as condições de suas vítimas é algo inquestionável. Mas Unidos pela Raiva não precisava repetir isso por 90 minutos para provar o argumento.
Times-Picayune - 4/10 by Mike ScottThis story deserves more than a merely functional telling, which is really all it manages here.
User Review - 10/10 by Peter AFast-paced and covers a lot of territory, including the birth of the organization, its roots, the protests against the FDA, CDC, Wall Street, the bad actor Reagan and the other miscreants who did nothing (Koch, Bush) or put up obstacles (O'Connor and the Roman Catholic Church). All of this while telling of a human tragedy and the organic movement to save lives against apathetic men in power. Great footage and effective storytellers.
User Review - 10/10 by Carlos MI work in HIV care and I feel like this documentary was a critical learning experience for me. It is shocking and unfortunate that the work of ACT UP has been erased from dialogue and history, even though, in the scheme of things, it JUST HAPPENED. The film made me feel ashamed for what I did not know and grateful that there were people willing to teach me.
