This riveting HBO drama tells the story of gay activist and writer Ned Weeks who, at the beginning of the 1980s, was one of the first to vociferously criticize the marginalization of the then unknown HIV virus. As a supporter of monogamy, he was a thorn in the side of his gay friends: 30 years previously, they rallied behind promiscuity as an expression of their right to freely love whomever they wished. This adaptation of Larry Kramer's Tony-winning play offers an unvarnished look at American sexual politics of the early 1980s, exploring the efforts of gay activists and their kindred spirits in the medical community to uncover the truth about the emerging epidemic, first referred to as "gay cancer." The excellent performances, which will surely be acknowledged during next spring's award ceremonies, were supplied by Julia Roberts, Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina, and especially Mark Ruffalo in the role of Ned Weeks.

português Não foi fácil na comunidade gay na primeira metade da década de 1980. Mas o drama de Ryan Murphy HBO não tenta brincar com os sentimentos e lutar pelos direitos dos homossexuais, mas sim retratar muito naturalmente o humor, a atmosfera e os sentimentos daqueles que foram afetados pelas primeiras mortes causadas pelo vírus HIV recém-emergente. O grande número de personagens e a duração de mais de duas horas é ligeiramente prejudicial, mas o elenco estelar liderado por Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts e Alfred Molina compensa totalmente a situação. E um dos gays é interpretado por Jim Parson (Sheldon de A Teoria do Big Bang). ()

inglês In the first half, it’s a very raw drama about the occurrence of AIDS in a seemingly advanced culture that has a problem accepting the issue, much less solving it. At times, the first half gets very sexually explicit. On the other hand, the second half brings out a whole range of theatrical acting performances that make it apparent that this is a play turned into a movie. In this regard, it’s worth mentioning Mark Ruffalo and especially Julia Roberts who has surprised me with her character; I almost didn’t recognize her. Overall, it’s a fascinating drama, especially because it’s interesting that something like this was even happening in the 1980s. ()

inglês The Normal Heart is an ambitious TV movie, whose pillars of success lie in a very good cast and, above all, in a thorny subject. It's really interesting to see what things were like in the LGBT community in the early 1980s when the unstoppable evil of AIDS came to light. Everyone dealt with the issue in their own way back then - some tried to deal with it early on, others ignored the threat until their horrific deaths or simply stood idly by. The film covers quite an extensive period and gives a fairly authentic account of what was going on at the time. In the context of TV movies, it is definitely an above-average piece that deserves audience attention and critical acclaim. A truly evocative trip into a period of one of the greatest milestones of medicine but also of humanity itself, offering dense material for reflection. ()
