Ok im a Aussie and gay and I totally refuse to watch this coz...
I seen the play and that was upsetting enough.
Also i used to volunteer to help people with this condition and that was harrowing enough.
But its just the attitude of not practising safe sex and this ideas of behaving like porn stars that makes me kinda annoyed.
They played this at the local arthouse theatre and promoted "bring the family"...no way i let my mum watch it.

Uhm, Tim contracted the disease in 1981. Nobody was "practising" safe sex back then...

It's neat that your mum lets you decide what she can see. In my family, my mum is over 18 and is allowed to watch whatever she wants.

It's a film. Do you live in the real world or a fantasy?

I live many miles away from yukky Oxford St...less crime..less grime down here on the far south coast.

You're missing out on a good film (I thought it was better than the play) and your mum might enjoy it.
