... but still a nice TV-movie about AIDS.
Although unknown, leading actress (Molly Ringwald) did a fine job, what can also be said for the guy who played Ben from Israel in hospital. Emotional viewers, beware:)) Movie runs smoothly (good directing) and keeps you in front of the TV all time.
And after you saw it, you still think about it. And I guess, that this was the purpose, so that's why I give this movie a high rate of
5 out of 10 (well, since is a TV movie, this is a HIGH rate)
