CGiii Comment

A gentle, emotional and short film...the boy who has everything loses it all to AIDS.

It's delicately done, soft focus, soft lighting - gentle dialogue and performances.

Critics will indeed attack its very white, middle-class characters...but, everyone can be and have been affected by AIDS - can they not?

It is a brave TV movie with a fine cast.

Worthy - on all counts.
