CGiii Comment

Sutherland's character is a monster.

The story certainly stretches credibility a little too far...but, there is no denying that it is a well-made piece.

The question remains: will he mellow, as in true Hollywood cop-out-style, or will he stay vile?

It is worth watching just to find out.

The(ir) Blurb...

The talented photographer Natalie is having financial difficulties in New York. Her friend and agent Julia finds a two day job in Boston for US$ 20,000.00, and the reluctant Natalie accepts the work due to her need of money. When she arrives, she finds that she was hired by her arrogant gay brother Roy, a successful designer. Natalie has broken the relationship and they have not seen each other for ten years. When she finishes her assignment, Roy asks her to stay one more day for his birthday party, and after that he tells her that he has AIDS. Natalie stays with him and along his last days, their resentments change to fraternal love.
