This is like nothing else anyone has ever done or seen. This is the most original, imaginative, astonishingly good thing I have ever watched, and my favorite movie of all time is Dr. Strangelove, which is a masterpiece. This is an absolute masterpiece. The writing is the star here, but Nichols' production gets every little thing out of the writing, which is saying mountains. It's hard to believe how good the stuff the characters say is. The themes of America, of Aids, of committed love, of Reaganism, of power, of understanding, of politics, of religion (almost above all), of the spirit, make this a Sistine Chapel for the screen; no joke there: this is Michelangelo on his back. And no matter what I say, there is no chance of me overstating the achievement here. Even the stuff that isn't "entertaining," the parts that may not be as good as the other parts, are so unique and original that you can't help wonder why no other writer has ever approached Kushner's level of expression here. That sounds hyperbolic, but wait, just you wait. Warning: do not watch this near a phone, or near young kids, or near anything or anyone that will distract you for the slightest moment. You do not want to miss even one word of these interactions. I mean that literally. Tape it and then watch it alone or with friends in a hermetic environment that you know will not be disturbed. I envy you never having seen this.
