The emergence and impact of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s is depicted through the lives of several gay men, highlighting their struggles and resilience.
Longtime Companion was one of the first major American dramas to confront the AIDS crisis through the lives of gay men rather than statistics or headlines. Its ensemble approach is compassionate and accessible, with Bruce Davison giving an especially moving performance. The film can be polished to a fault, but its tenderness and cumulative grief remain powerful.
