CGiii Comment
A deeply personal account of a man who has been living with HIV for over 20 years.
But...at 171 minutes, it becomes more of a marathon than an insightful portrait.
Perhaps, Pinto should have used the services of some friends...to direct, to edit. Definitely a case of being too close to the film.
Shame...there are some truly touching and inspired moments...but, they are few and far between.

The(ir) Blurb...
Joaquim Pinto has been living with HIV and VHC for almost twenty years. What now? is the notebook of a year of clinical studies with toxic, mind altering drugs as yet unapproved. An open and eclectic reflection on time and memory, on epidemics and globalization, on survival beyond all expectations, on dissent and absolute love. In a to-and-fro between the present and past memories, the film is also a tribute to friends departed and those who remain.
