The Normal Heart
Tuesday, May 27th, 2014 02:22 amFirst, for those who hadn't heard of the movie, here's a trailer:
I had been looking forward to this movie for over a year, back when I first heard Matt Bomer would be in it. With all the interviews I had been seeing everywhere for it lately and the hype, I was worried I had my expectations set too high....
...I actually don't have any complaints. Wonderful acting all around. We really got to know the core group of people, so that the blows to the characters hurt all the more.
Okay, my only complaint was that the movie didn't go a little further timeline-wise. I LOVED Ned and Felix, but the movie slowed to a stop ( cut for spoiler ).
Unfortunately, Mom was also interested in seeing it. That was a mistake lol. She made it to minute 30 before she made me turn it off. Which was a relief! It was so uncomfortable watching with her and I knew the movie would turn me into a sobbing mess. But if she had only watched for 30 more seconds, things calmed down (aka, no more smut scenes lol). But this allowed me to curl up with my cat and sniffle all I wanted while watching.
Hard movie to watch, but get a hold of it if you can!
