En 1981, un jeune homme apprend à ses amis homosexuels qu’un article du New York Times révèle l’existence d’une nouvelle forme de « cancer », touchant principalement les gays : le sida. Les amis seront touchés un par un par la terrible maladie...
« Film spans the entire decade, from the first reports of a mystery illness to a time when the disease became a tragic part of everyday life. The script is insightful, heart-wrenching, funny, and the entire cast is excellent. ». (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide)
« One of the particular strengths of Longtime Companion is that it does not identify its characters only through their sexual preferences. It would seem bizarre to watch a movie in which heterosexual men were defined only by the fact that they like to sleep with women – but many films about gays have made the opposite error, and limited their characters as a result. Longtime Companion is about friendship and loyalty about finding the courage to be helpful and the humility to be helped. » (Roger Ebert)
