This HBO Films drama tells the dramatic, poignant and often-exasperating story of the early days of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s, taking an unflinching look at the nation's sexual politics as gay activists and their allies in the medical community fight to expose the truth about the burgeoning epidemic to a city and nation in denial. This film boasts an all-star cast, including Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo, Oscar winner Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch, Alfred Molina and three time Emmy winner Jim Parsons. "The Normal Heart" is directed by Emmy winner Ryan Murphy and written by Oscar nominee Larry Kramer, adapting his groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning play of the same name.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
EXCELLENT!!!! submitted by Stephen Sarbaugh on March 16, 2015, 7:32pm After waiting almost three months for this film, it was well worth the wait. The story is so sad, but yet an important one to be told. It makes one wonder how many lives might have been saved if the federal government had taken a interest in this awful epidemic. Checking to see who had won Emmy's the year this movie was released, I was not surprised to see all of the main cast there. The only real thing that I can say, is make sure that you have kleenex next to you, especially for the last hour.
