First, how egotistical for the filmmaker to not only offer a review, but to question a review of a viewer! If you put stuff out there, expect people to have opinions, and the mere fact he chose to 10 star this movie and call out a reviewer leads me to believe the movie actually would score much lower by viewers and have more reviews if it weren't for the brashness of Phillipe Mora.

As viewers there is no depth to this at all, and with a description discussing the looting, and reparations he could have at least mentioned that in his movie, especially if advertises that that is what the movie is about.

In the end, the movie tends to be one man's ranting about not much and a show f his Hitler obsession.

I am a bit of a hard ash when it comes to rating and reviewing movies, and this movie hit all of the marks for me. It was sublime, and had me literally sobbing toward the end.

Being from America, I was not familiar with the book or the story, and in fact, only got the movie because of the cover art. I wasn't really looking for a movie that dealt with the early days of HIV/AIDS, and in fact, tend to steer clear of them because they are usually done so poorly, but HTM deals with it not only realistically, but with great humanity. In the end, the movie isn't about the disease, but the love these two men shared.

And what a love it must have been. Most of us could only ever hope for a love like that, and never actually find it. In that regard, it reminds me of Bridegroom. Both of those films leave you with the hope that fairy tale love really can exist in the real world.
