Trivia
Robin Campillo and co-screenwriter Philippe Mangeot drew on their personal experiences with ACT UP in developing the story. One scene was also based on Campillo's experience with the AIDS epidemic, as he said "I've dressed up a boyfriend on his death".

Goofs
After the incursion in the lab, in the background of the group gathered in the subway, a Score Games ad is visible. The first Score Games shop opened in 1992 in Paris, although the action is supposed to be set in 1989.

Powerful, tragic film but with a pay off

Tragic account of the early 90s AIDS epidemic, and the actions of a group of activists in Paris. It's a very dialogue heavy film but also intertwines a tender love story. Nahuel Pérez Biscayart is absolutely astounding as 'Sean'. And the acting is so hugely impressive across the board, it almost feels like the viewer is attending the activists weekly meetings at times. A powerful film.
