CGiii Comment

Tiresome teenage rebellion...

Dippy, trippy hippies....with communal love and acoustic guitars.

That concludes a very dreary first hour...

Part 2 - it all goes gay with the communal kids grown-up...

HIV/AIDS activism and victims...

Part 3...if you have managed to stay awake...everything falls apart...both in the film and in the weary political moralising that pollutes the entire film.

Too long, too broad, too sweeping...

There is an unpalatable arrogance by the filmmakers - their expectation for an audience to sit through this meandering, monotonal marathon is a conceit that defies decency.
